If you think vinyl can sound better than CD, you've
"suffered severe hearing damage at birth".

Yet another true statment.


Why do you act like all CD recordings have the same
sound quality?


Straw man.

It simply isn't so and I have quite a few
albums that do sound lots better than their CD release.


Bad mastering. So what?

I also have a few albums that stand up well against most
CDs. I have a few CDs that actually perform to a level the technology is
capable of, but rarely delivers.


Actually, the audio CD format is capable of dynamic range and low distortion
that simply cannot be exploited with any real-world recording of live music
or music played on non-electronic instruments. Even most electronic
instruments are hard-pressed to produce truely CD quality sound.

Therefore, you probably have no CDs that actually perform to a level the
technology is capable of.
