CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

I found this comment on another website and I believe it really nails digital vs analog in a nutshell.

I feel that the finest digital sources reproduce "the musically obvious" at "the cost" of losing "the musically UN-obvious"

Very true.

I have a Marantz SA-10 and it's a great player. I have a Acoustic Signiture Final Tool with upgraded platter with 24 silencers and upgraded motors. Graham 2.2 ceramic tonearm with a Dynavector 20x2 cartridge amplified by an Acoustech PH1P phono preamp. Listening to "Jackie Blue" by TOMDs the vinyl was a clear winner. More musical and the high frequencies on the lead guitar was purer sweeter and extended. The Marantz can be a killer sometimes. It all comes down to the recording. This time was not. Elizabeth what setting might I try. I have it on mode 1 but actually haven't tried the others

Wow another vinyl vs cd thread - so original.

Coming from a member who’s been on Agon since..wait for it...............2018 😂

Cue in the Trololo Sing Along! 

No problem hind end. In case you didn’t notice (as most wallflowers / flakes don’t participate, but only stalk, due to their lack of courage or intellect) this thread was the top thread for this forum for over one month. Maybe next time you can come up with a response that’s actually on topic and doesn’t make you look like a fool. Buh -bye. 

Digital never had a chance. As soon as the laser strikes the disc the game is over. The laser scattered light and the vibration and flutter of the disc prevent the real data from ever getting to the DAC. The sound quality is permanently degraded in the initial one millionth of a second and never recovers. And can never be recovered. It’s no wonder there’s been a continuous barrage of higher bit rates and sampling rates and “higher resolution” formats, upsampling, downsampling, remasters, all because the initial problems were never resolved. Hel-loo!
