How do you respond to this question?

The high frequencies of CDs suck. You don't have to be a cat or dog to hear it, either. Of course being deaf probably helps a lot. :-)

Odd, I listen to classical music only, and have not observed any "falling apart" with my digital rig... Low entropy coefficient in Austin may be?! G.

For me it's a simple answer, a lot of the esoteric jazz I listen to never came out on CD, or if it did, sounded terrible. I've been collecting jazz vinyl for 35 years, now it's cool and on trend to do so. It really wasn't back then.
