CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

I do speak a few languages. Vysotsky's ballads are timeless and are going to be sung and listened to in 500 years and later.
Tape sounds best not vinyl. But I have to listen to cds too sometimes because that music was recorded in digital. Can be listenable. Digital sounds better on vinyl than on cd, by the way.

Do you guys read TAS?  In the January 2019 issue Jonathan Valin, the hard-core analog guy at the magazine, reviewed the MSB Reference Transport and DAC.  He starts his conclusion by saying, " The guy who railed against digital is now listening happily to same."  He owns literally hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of analog gear.  The MSB gear is not cheap at around $80,000, but it is cheap compared to his analog gear.   And that's not even MSB's best DAC.   

If you're open minded at all, read the review.  If not, go on believing that you have the best sounding audio in the world.  That won't make it true though.

No need to read anything when you can hear. And if you can't hear it doesn't matter, anyway.

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

+1, @tomcy6. 

Geoffkait Okay, I misunderstood as I thought both sides of the square had double stick tape. It has a smooth, unsticky side which the CD rests on. Good. Also, I misspoke as to the Walker Talisman. Of course it is the magnetism problem that it alleviates as it has nothing to do with static of CD plaster or LP vinyl. I think I will try your invention. It may work. I know that eliminating stray laser light can enhance tracking ability. I’ve noticed the positive change occasionally when I use a cd edge trimmer and black sharpie (I said occasionally as I find that it is too infrequent and I really don’t want to put stress on the CD during the cutting operation).
