I must be old


Listening tonight to Heavy Weather on first vinyl then CD through a Sonica DAC it occurs to me that there are no pops, the stage separation is larger, the dynamics are larger and the instruments are better defined. My record album is not brand new. It has surface noise. My CD does not. I want to love my vinyl but unless I buy perfect new LPs I cannot tolerate the surface noise or lack of frequency limitations for the sake of euphonic sound. Am I crazy?  Misinformed?  Stupid?  I have been an audiophile for 50 years.

 Wolf-Garcias, Speaking of clicks and pops.  Many years ago when  Hammond switched from tone generator to solid state on the  B3's the  orginal key clicking sound was added for nostalgia purposes. An on off switch was added. Owned both models and liked eitrher one.
