Most will agree that cd sound has improved greatly over the years, especially in the last few years.
Then note that Michael Fremer reviewed the dcs Vivaldi stack in the current issue of Stereophile and said he didn't miss his vinyl while listening to the Vivaldi (playing digital not cds). Yes the Vivaldi costs $100,000 but Michael's vinyl gear is even more expensive.
Finally, consider that we are about to become the beneficiaries of a major push to make DSD downloads the primary music format.
So while there will always be those who prefer vinyl, I think that anyone who enjoys putting down those who prefer digital sound should get their jollies now, because change is in the air. In the previous sentence I am not referring to people who prefer vinyl but who can understand that others might prefer digital. Also, I will have no criticism for anyone who continues to prefer vinyl no matter how good digital gets. I'm just suggesting that some people should consider becoming a little more open minded.
