Vinyl rules !

[Blanka]

I have to say that digital can sound better than vinyl. Not as romantic, but my SACD's clearly sound better. The warmth of the bass is every bit as good as the vinyl, but the channel separation, the dynamic range and the noise level are much better. With a good 5 speaker setup (not .1 per se) you really enter the live stage. I have DSD recordings from old tapes from Frank and Ella, that sound awesome, but some modern Philips Pentatone recordings are total amazing. Sadly the creators Sony and Philips do more work on branding LCD TV's and crappy light systems like Ambilight.
And on the amplifier side: ever heard a Sony DSD SACD amp or a Tripath T-class amp or ? If you know that, A and A-B class are ancient dinosaurs. The T-amp is a switching amp controlled analog, and it is really really good. Yet a 2x100 watt RMS thd <1% amp fits in a MacMini and is 85% energy efficient. Vinyl sure is romantic, but DSD and D and T-class amps  are there to stay.
