- I wish you would save the money you spend on audio and buy a clue.
- Any audio limitations with CDs are not due to the 16 bit, 44.1 digital
- sampling as much as the microphone - amp - amp - speaker chain. Buy a good
- CD player. I feel bad that you spent $10,000 on that turntable 10 years ago
- and need to rationalize the cost. Try spending $10,000 on a CD player. I bet
- it will sound better.

- (The funny thing is, I bet many of your favorite albums were recorded on a digital
- master tape before the vinyl coloration was added).
