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.

Tomic is spot on the goal is listening to music the way you want.
I see again the discussion of listening vs science was pulled. It should be a synergistic interaction and not two diametrically opposed views. As Rodney King said why can't we all just get along and that's valid to a point the dividing line, however, should not be what gear you own or it's cost or what you hear or not. Make no mistake science must rule in matters of life and death and the well-being of our planet as we have only one of each.
