- Yeah, I can get a 30 year old CD and bring out more details and be smoother
- and quicker on the attack than any LP I ever played on any LP player ever
- built :-).

- It's amazing how many LPhiles want to crucify digital on first listen in 1983
- or even 1993, when they've progressed from edison wax cylinders to shellac to
- vinyl over a 100 year period.
-
- How come vinyl is better than edison wax cylinders? The way I read it,
- audiphiles seem to think every technology advance is a step backwards. It's
- not as good as the good old days. Can you get Sting's "The Soul Cages" on
- edison wax cylinders? No? Jeez, you guys must be really upset.
-
- Is it more than a coincidence that the favoured format of any audiophile is
- the one they grew up with?
