I've been following this thread with much interest and was pleased (and surprised) to see Eldragon (above), obviously both an LP and CD user, have enough cahones (balls) to actually state that SOMETIMES CD actually does sound better than LP. Some LP users are so zealous that they can't see this. Well done digital can be very good, and it's what I've chosen as my music format, but I certainly respect people that have chosen other formats if they're open minded and courteous about it, ie I KNOW that well done LPs played on a good system can be excellent. So... thanks Eldragon. (and sorry about the "soapbox" statement, but I've been roasted about LP vs CD in other threads). Craig
...I should have also noted that Drumsgreg and Carl are also in both the the LP/CD camp and don't mind saying so. I swear to gawd I'm not trying to stir up an old controversy. I'm just wanting to say thanks to a all who can embrace more than one music format. Thanks, and I'll shut up. Craig.
Garfish, I use both formats because I have alot of LPs , I quit buying LPs along time ago, when CDs came out I was taken by there easy use and there dead quite back ground, later I started to hear what people were saying about the format, I had a maplenoll turntable and a grado cartridge at the time and it sounded better than the CD player, today I`am not so sure the big lead turntables have over CD is there as it once was ,I say this because I beleive CDs have made some head way in the format over the years and have come close if not surpass LPs in some ways. I buy music, I really don`t care to much about the format wars that go on these days if I find the music I want on cd, thats great, if I find it on LPs, that just as good to me. I love music, I play it, I live it, I enjoy hearing it all the time, live as well as recorded, its all music to me!!!!!! Greg
Since this particular posting is about music, and not about format, it would be nice if Eldragon expanded on his comments. It appeared to me that the Mozart "Requiem" Berliner Philharmoniker with Claudio Abbado on DG label was the winner, and on CD. But, perhaps the judgement was one of musical performance and or content, and did not involve a judgement about LP versus CD. It would be interesting to know.
albert, how did you like tower? aside form local used stores, its where i go now for product. i LOVE getting used vinyl for a fraction of the new prices. los angeles is plentiful with this kind of outlet. (poor english, i know). everyone is excited about patricia barber and rightly so, but her '91 album 'a distortion of love' is a masterpiece. thats all you get this time peeeeeeple, one title. regards........tr
