CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

@inna 

chakster, I didn't like your jazz funk.

then you have no taste, haha 

Vysotsky is so much better, it's not quite music, though, it's poetry accompanied by intentionally out of tune guitar.  

I am surprised, don't tell me you have russian roots too.
His poetry was pretty tought for its time and still today, my grand father wrote a book about him about 30 years ago. Anyway i hope you're kidding.

Keep patting yourselves on the back, guys. You are mistaking smugness for smarts.  

Are you offended? 
Try to tell any serious record collector that he's better off with CDs and it will be the greatest joke.

No, I'm not offended and I don't tell anyone what to listen to.  I have no beef with record collectors. 

I think that people who believe  that whatever they like is the best and always will be are a little small minded though.

Well, maybe small minded is a little harsh. How about short-sighted.

It would be great if we could get past the "my format rules, yours sucks" dynamic on these forums one day.

Single minded is more like it; a lot of these folks have invested considerable resources in whatever they're advocating; if they didn't advocate for what they invested in, they would be remiss or at least "short sighted" so there's a considerable factor of self affirmation in all this screed about any audio subject. It's not rocket surgery. It's "all about me." Of course, there is the possibility that someone buys something that is obviously a piece of crap and recognizes it for such, but this ventures into the realm of honesty and credibility. which is rare in any rabid beast.
