From a reproduction accuracy point of view, CDs are much better than vinyl, but then I doubt you'd know enough about the process to understand that. When it comes to frequency response, dynamic range and noise level, CDs are vastly superior to vinyl and that is fact. There are many who prefer vinyl, but that's because they prefer the distortions it causes to audio accuracy.

I don't know anything about the fact that cd is superior to vinyl, and I suspect I know more about the process than you do. What do you mean by reproduction accuracy ? When it comes to frequency response dynamic range and noise level analogue is in fact better than cd and that is fact.

Those of us who prefer vinyl are interested in music, I have no idea what you mean by audio accuracy.

But that means that you don't know more about the process than others! :-) Facts have to be scientifically proven. That "it sounds better" is not a fact, is an impression on the ear and mind, which can be fooled (and how to fool them is very much studied).

I can and do compare the same music on vinyl and cd I know which sounds better to me.

See above :-) You can say, and I agree that you can say, that you "know which sounds better to me". But you can not say that "frequency response dynamic range and noise level analogue is in fact better than cd and that is fact" because those are measured with instruments and calculated by engineers, and the layman can not dispute the figures no matter what. However, engineers and scientifics can strive to find out why "it sounds better", and provide that sound with different technologies. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
