It's funny how records are still best.

Records are the best. There is no legitimate argument that anyone can make against that. It's not preference but fact. The preference is if your too lazy to deal with the inconvenience. But the sound is the best.

It is funny with all the Audiophile technology. The best sound from software comes from a format that was around in the 19th century.

Robm321 you are wrong, wrong, wrong! Open reel tape is the best. There is no legitimate argument that anyone can make against that. It's not preference, but fact. The preference is if you're too lazy to deal with the inconvenience. But the sound is the best.

Geez, Dan ... it would be terribly unfair of me to let you shoulder the burden of storing Merganser's LP collection all by yourself. Just to help you out, I'll take half.

BTW, isn't a Merganser a duck? :-)

It depends on how the recording was mastered as to which one sounds the best and the quality of the vinyl used. Some of my LPs are as quiet as the CD version and usually sounds better. This is not always the case. Sometimes the CD sounds better. But one thing is for sure. CDs will make you fatter.

And richer. As someone who misguidedly threw out all his hundreds of LPs 15 years ago, and starting from scratch again in the voodoo world of vinyl, I am amazed that the same recordings I bought for a couple of dollars in the 80s are now about $30-40 (classical re-issues). Ouch!
