CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

Dear @audiolouis:  Good that you posted here because that notice is an old one that many of us that knew about maybe we just don't care on it. One of them is me. Thank's for your post, it was a " refreshment " for my digital alternative.

@audiolouis, are you referring to phase and not polarity? 

I have been very much into both CD and LP for a long time.  I can comfortably say my Clearaudio Master Reference turntable (with Koetsu Onyx long body on Thales Simplicity II) sounded better than my Burmester 089 CDP (on 011 pre and 911mk3 amp) in most situations (meaning both on hifi recordings). I know it is an Apple to Orange thing, but in general I would agree with the OP. Just my 2 cents. 

A Paradound CD1 will take care of all your issues. Good luck finding one.

If you owed a forsell air transport mk2 and a stax dac. You wouldn’t say thing like that. on the other hand if you owe old esoteric CD player or Krell then I would agree with your statement
