On the whole the Lp's sound better. Yet, since the price of some are exorbitant and many are impossible to find,the CD's are a more than acceptable compromise. The music is great and you have the added benefit of alternate takes. That being said, I would still keep a lookout for the occasional find at a used record store or such like. This assumes your turntable is comparable in quality to your CD player.
How are the blue note RVG CD's?
After seeing a recent thread about the pricey used Blue Note LP's, esp. japanese pressings, what are your opinions of the sound quality of the recently re-mastered by Rudy Van Gelder editions, done I think in 1999-2002 or so, on a 24 bit system. I bought a bunch for around $12.99 each, and on my Rega Jupiter 2000 think they sound pretty darned good. Anyone else?
