Another CD-Player vs. PC question:

As a whole, CD quality is much better since mid 90's. I have read of various technical factors since then that account for this and observe this in practice as well.

I may not like how all modern CDs are mastered and put together by the producers, but the technical quality of the content overall is much more consistent and the best recordings perhaps also just a tad superior as well. The technology has matured fully these days I would say.

"...since there's a lot of music not available on LP."

Man, the time's they are a-changing. I remember when the exact opposite used to be said (although it still holds true) that there are so many LP's that have never been released in CD form! Stands to reason that since the mid-80's the majority of new music has never been released on LP. For me, it's the perfect reason for owning a CD AND an LP player!;)

Kijanki ,What type of music do you find lacking on vinyl, ?

Apparently 15 % of recorded music is digital ,available on cd and down load.
You have that mixed up, it's the other way around and by a huge margin.

I find digital play back to my ears much more tolerable then a decade ago however the very best recordings available on vinyl transferred to cd and Hi-Res down loads it seems any direct comparison dialog started on this subject dies quickly, it's all about the method ,hardware and convenience and not so much of the recorded qualities.
Great music recorded well IS the reason for the high end hardware.

One high profile Audiogon member commented about all the digital revolutions he read about since the 1990s and with all these advancements his observation of today ,digital play back should be 150% better then live.

In_shore, Many Jazz albums, World music, Indian Classical music to name
the few genders. Anytime I find interesting record it is only audio CD.
Perhaps the most common popular titles are available on LP. It is also
possible that existing database of vinyl is much bigger (older media) but
not so much for the new tiles.

As for the sound quality of the media I have some CD recordings that are
simply breathtaking showing ability of the media and suggesting that
investment in old technology doesn't make any sense - at least to me.

In addition I hate any pops and clicks (or noise) that eventually happens
no matter how careful you are (I had TT for many years). Pops and clicks
bring me back from being "there" back to my living room.
