CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

“CD is a dead media format”. 

CD is far from dead....if we are talking about mainstream then CD, Vinyl, Tape all are pretty much dead formats. As @fleschler pointed out there are many releases of great recordings are being put out on CD’s. One reliable source of remastered great sounding CD’s is Elusive Disc, they got very nice collection of rare jazz and classical recordings. 

Anyone who thinks CD is CD, check out Dexter Gordon’s - A Singin’ Affair XRCD.

@tomcy6 sleepwalker, reality check:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/vinyl-what-if 

Tomy  the only person needing to do a reality check is you. 

Please keep the unfounded rumors coming.  They just serve to depress further the bargain basement prices of used CD's massively available on Amazon and elsewhere.  Each month I pick up classic performances and obscure repertoire for pennies on the dollar.

Dear @sleepwalker65 : You started in this thread a " battle " that just before your OP you had totally lost. No matter what.

You read the " other turn around thread "/opposite to this one and seems to me that unfortunatelly you did not understand all the facts posted there that unequivocally says that it’s vinyl whom is " dead " in the very first moment that appeared the 20/96 DACs.

" CD is CD. What you put in is what you get out. If you are trying to compare another format to vinyl, that’s a different discussion. """

it’s incredibkle that you still want to win when you can’t do it. Your statement is an example of that and my answer to it is with other example:

what needs a LOMC device for you can listen a sound coming from your speakers or a MM cartridge?, exactly it needs an analog rig.

Well CD with out a CDP is just a CD where as with the cartridges can’t gives you any sound through your speakers. I hope you agree with all those.

Your way of thinking on the CD/LP subject is a dead way of thinking and you are not alone , all those gentlemans that " die for vinyl " are like you: totally wrong and not because I say that but the facts in the other thread that I linked in this thread. Where are your and the other vinyl lovers ( I’m a vinyl lover but I understand the facts/reality. ) facts other that " I like it ". You have not a single one and is not your culprit because those facts on vinyl just does not exist ! ! !

Btw, do you already bougth the CD/LP I posted the link through amazon?, no: what are you waiting for: there you can find out facts not inexistent " illusions "

Here other facts: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=alita+black+angel+cd&i=music-intl-ship&ref=nb_sb_noss

I’m waiting for the LP.

We all need to learn and for that each one of us need to have a positive attitude that permits that each one of us can be willing to learn, willing to grow-up to move on.

On the CD subject you are living in 1965 but remember yhat in reality we all are living in 2019 with 2018 CDP.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

Btw, if for you or any other analog lover the CD in the audio system can't at least even the LP quality overall performance then  there is a serious/critical problems with that system ( somewhere in one or some of thelinks in the system chain. ) whole set up or the quality of the CDP on that system.

Personally I don't care what's wrong with you or any other anti-digital analog lovers. What I post here and elsewhere on this and other MUSIC/audio regards is only expose facts not just opinion or what I or don't like because what you or me like is unimportant.

The star is MUSIC nothing less nothing more.
