Coping in an Age of Uncertainty

>>When played back through a well set up system, both SACD and CD sound better than any vinyl ever has.<<

Well Dave I guess you've never heard a "well set up system" with a quality analog source. If you had, I doubt we would be reading your outrageous and ignorant posts.

Tell us Dave how you came to this conclusion which is contrary to what most real audiophiles believe?

Although my digital blows away my analog at this time, the statement Dave made is a bit silly, now ofcourse you made need to spend a hell of a lot more to make vinyl sound very good vs what it would cost to make a digital system satisfy, but it can be done, and Vinyl can and sometimes does sound better than digital, most do not have what it takes to get that sound, but those who do...man are they lucky.
BTW even though my vinyl is pretty bad as of now I still enjoy it and the chance to slowly improove my LP sound is very exciting and ultimatly what this passsion is all about, while I learn and imprrove the sound is alot of fun

What's a "real audiophile"?

A real audiophile: (in Catholic order)

1. Believes Levinson, Pass, McIntosh, Von Schweikert, et al, are gods.
2. Curses the names of above gods when equipment blows up.
3. Buys cheaper on line (Sundays included) instead of worshiping at the store front.
4. Listens to his gear more often than he calls his mother or father.
5. Would kill any and all comers who would dare move the position of his speakers.
6. Would sleep with anybody (farm animals?) since he doesn't get laid much
7. Would steal his grandfather’s gold fillings to buy interconnects.
8. Shits on anyone who disagrees with his preferences of audio equipment.
9. (repeat #6)
10. Looks at pictures of some people’s multi-thousand dollar systems and drools.

In other words, he is just a regular guy.
