   Well, if you enjoy slowly destroying the quality of your recordings with   
   each play...and the snap/crackle/pop to say nothing of the linear nature of   
   the format.......I agree vinyl is the best!!! LOL.   
      
   Seriously though, Vinyl does sound superior to the compact disc - no doubt   
   about it. However, an SACD through a tube amp is pretty darn close to sonic   
   Nirvanna in my opinion.   
      
   However, to each his own and the bottom line is enjoying the music. Hell, I   
   have bootlegs that are so piss poor in sound quality, they sound like audio   
   through a telephone. Yet the *performances* are so good, you quickly forget   
   the technical inferiority and just dig the tunes. It's the music that   
   matters - not the medium. Personally, I prefer analog 15ips Dolby 'A'   
   recordings if I had to choose. Again, amplified with 'fire-bottles'! (Tubes   
   or as the English say...valves.)
