| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl I disagree.Some albums sound better than CDs and some CDs sound better than albums. Depending on mastering of both. When I do A-B comparisons of the same album there are advantages and disadvantages to both. I love vinyl, but it's still so much ea... | |

| Your Forever Pieces? What and Why? McIntosh XRT-28 speakers and MC-601 amplifiers. While I haven't had them for a very long time, I don't see them going anywhere. I absolutely love the big wall of sound the XRT-28's produce and the 601's drive them with ease. I think I'll be buried... | |
