When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?

^^ Exactly, Rainer. Susi jo syntyessään... About CD we audiophiles used to say here back in the day :)

That flawless medium that after a while started to evolve even better , and gradually even better (more bits) and finally we got a super version of the format, the mighty SACD.  The hyper perfect audio disc. I just kept thinking how can a perfect thing get better all the time. And for convenience ? Well, it´s just a matter of taste but the damn cover was too large to put into pocket and liner notes too small to read.

CD never fooled me but it is alright when doing homework like vacuum cleaning (my new machine is very quiet ) and washing car :)

Dean de Thazel, The same happened here too, suddenly new vinyl records disappeared ! I should had bought as many as possible because the prices had already been getting lower and lower all the time. Hundreds, even many sealed original albums from the 70´s for ridiculous prices. I just couldn´t see what was happening... A very big mistake in my audio career.

^ Yes. I record vinyl albums to c-cassettes and listen them in my car. I also enjoy them as the second best music media at home. I owe original c-cassettes from early 70´s those not yet Dolby NRS and they outperform CD, particularly in the dynamics. I must point out that I don´t use noise reduction in recording `cos it compress dynamics.
