- Thanks for the support. Once I got a CD player I almost completely
- stopped listening to vinyl because (a) its inconvenient since you
- have to keep flipping and (b) the surface noise and occassional pops and
- ticks are annoying. When I played the album recently and listened to
- it, I was shocked by how good it sounded - the smoothness, the
- depth of the soundstage. I hadn't expected it to sound that good !
- (I'm sure my recently acquired KEF 103.4s have something to do with it).
- People have to experience it for themselves - it seems so contrary to
- what you would expect.

- CD has come a long way though, and some of the new techniques help - Sony
- has a new 18 bit encoding scheme that is played back on existing
- players with improved resolution.
