CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl


No comparison, CD always sounds so cold and gritty. Vinyl is so much warmer, smoother and has better imaging and much greater depth of sound. It’s like watching the world go by through a dirty window pane when listening to a CD. Put the same LP on the turntable and Voila! Everything takes on more vibrancy, fullness and texture.

Dear analog and digital lovers: For we can truly enjoy the MUSIC in any home audio system that room/audio system needs to be a FULL range audio room/ system.

That means not only that can goes not only down to 20hz and over 20khz but that in the case of the low bass range any passive speaker designs ( even if by design it shows full range specs: down to 20hz and over 30khz. ) must be mated in true stereo fashion with at least two self powered subwoofers where the main speakers will handled the frequencies from around 80hz and up and the subs 80hz and down .

Any home system with passive stereo speakers can't honor MUSIC ( with any source alternative. ) with out a dedicated designed amplifier that meets exactly the woofer(s) needs for what was designed and the MUSIC needs to puts IMD and THD at minimum. 
Subwoofers more that anything are for stereo systems and as a side " line " need it for home theather. Not the other way around.

@sleepwalker65, I can imagine you already know all those and you already have, don't you?

Fleschler, I challenge your cheapo player with my even cheaper player with New Dark Matter. Are you in?

Please remember when you are speaking for yourself, rather than declaring things as objective facts.  I remind you of this, because you don't write like you are aware of how you sound.

Again, speak for yourself.

Any music can be "honored" via appreciation from the listener, however that happens.  Note that probably a majority of musicians...who know a little about how they like their music honored...don't necessarily own the type of system specs you recommend. 

My current system is not full range and I use tube amps, so I presume this likely goes astray of your recommendations.  Yet all of my musician friends love to hear their music on my system.  They come away thrilled.  My brother even brings over different masters of albums he's working on and he loves what he hears.
By all means, talk of your own goals.  But it just looks silly to make proclamations from your own goals as if you were delivering objective prescriptions to be adopted by all music lovers.
