Well if I MUST give you only one example it would be Durufles
Complete Choral Music on BIS. That sound simply could not be
achieved on vinyl.



Choral music? Why ever not?


Dynamics, resolution, pitch stability, background noise - for
starters.

I recall Peter Walker showing off Quad ELS63s years back with small
scale choral music from a Philips CD150. I was hooked immediately and
the medium has only improved since.



I suspect a few would argue that its implementation hasn't improved much
lately but perhaps if I agree with you *wholeheartedly* we might start a
new trend and see charity shop vinyl drop back from the 1.99 (and up) it
is now for anything in good condition to the three (or even four) for a
pound it was when I used to *defend* vinyl against a small few here who
thought it should be outlawed from this group...?

Meantime, I'm delighted you enjoy your music no matter what your
preferred medium!! :-)
