What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report


I enjoy vinyl and digital (lately, with recent changes, vinyl actually sounds better than digital to me), BUT given what seems an overall preference for analog/vinyl on A'gon, I'm curious what the non-vinyl "1/2" is listening to. I tried to see if this was a previously posted question. Did not seem so.

This evening for me, it's Genesis (definitive edition remaster) "A Trick of the Tail".

+1 Played my 1983 Virgin West German CDV2185 uncompressed version last night, your right, an amazingly recorded album for being so old.

Goes to show, the saying "perfect sound forever" for CD 20 years ago, was a true statement, just back then no replay equipment could get that perfection out of them, till just in the last few years.

Absolutely! Phil took great pride crafting his and Genesis releases.
Good to read that you own a CDV 2185 copy as well.

Happy Listening!


Tonight was Etta James "At Last" she made me cry on many of the the tracks.
Best dynamic range version 2010

And the rest, worst as usual was 2016 streaming compressed to the max.
