Led Zep Reissue on vinyl

Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't CDs provide more dynamic range and Signal to Noise Ratio than LPs? I mean a LOT more.

There are lots of reasons why people might have different views, that's kind of par for the course for anything audio related. Viva la difference!

Dunno how Mothership was produced but I definitely think the results are spectacular. As the system improves I'm amazed how Mothership continues to improve in terms of richness of detail, bass slam and definition, transparency, dynamics, intricacy and warm/ intimacy.

Rocket Man, the last time I looked CD players offer 90 dB of dynamic range whereas turntables offer only 70 dB of dynamic range, if they're lucky. So, according to my calculations that's a difference of 20 dB. What's that, about 100 times better dynamic range for CDs?

"CDs sound great; until you hear a good vinyl set-up." Maybe so, on the other hand I can make the statement, vinyl sounds great until you hear a good CD set up. Did you know that in 2001 Stereophile's Mike Fremer, the uber vinyl dude and author of the long standing Analogue Corner column in Stereophile, made the observation that of the five best sounding systems at the show that year four were digital systems?

If the new Zeppelin CD releases sound better than Mothership I'll eat a bug. Scout's honor.
