Led Zep Reissue on vinyl

CDs sound great; until you hear a good vinyl set-up. On paper, vinyl should have died out with the b&w picture tube television set. Spec sheets are tailored to the product that is being marketed. CDs have better dynamic range, better S/N, zero wow&flutter on paper. Vinyl sounds better. Maybe its like in the movie, The Matrix; the matrix kept failing because it was a perfect world. We want something less than perfection, or just maybe the spec sheets are not comparing the right parameters. It definitely helps when a record has a dead quite background. I wonder if that's why some of these new reissues sound better- quieter background.

Imagine how good those 4 systems would have sounded with vinyl front ends.

I have heard HD Audio files. Those have the potential to beat vinyl. If that format survives, I could go there one day. HD Audio, what I heard had the full dimensionality of vinyl and the quiet, perfect presentation of digital. After hearing some HD Audio tracks on a top end system and then going back to CDs, the images felt like flat cardboard figures and the soundstage was smaller.

I find it amazing just how good the sound we can get out of vinyl and how that horse has stayed in the race this long.

Wow! We're just having some fun. Way to spoil the party.
