Actually, seeing Don's *digitally defensive* remark just now prompts me
to add that, other than in this queer little *digicentric* newsgroup,
there is no actual competition between CD and LPs out in the real world
with real people and, indeed, many 'vinylistas' will buy both - one for
serious, appreciative listening and one for 'rough and ready' or
playing
in the car or somesuch.
(I leave you to guess which way round!! ;-)
It's interesting to buy one of each for comparison.
But not cheap with modern, current pressings vinyl!!
But still worth doing.
Enquiring minds need to know:-)
Not at nearly 30 quid a slice they don't!! :-)
Dire Straits 'Brothers In Arms' CD and LP - I defy you to split them if
you have a nice, quiet (probably MC) cart
There are a great number of instances where this is so.
Good CD mastering is possible.
Of course, but with 'digital' when is it ever really about quality first and
foremost?
FWIW I find that jazz CDs are well mastered.
Got a few here - never listen to them other than as MP3s on the computer
like right now, but that's a Getz track that from the album I think you
should hear.
You could play straight over many of these tracks already - like this one:

(Not declicked - doesn't need it for speakers, IME)
I use my iPod when out with the dog on a long walk. Two birds with
one stone. I put the music I am learning on "loop"
See above - headphones and/or good 'buds' are not really a vinyl
transcription to digital's best friend!!
I said "I have a valve amp too" too which he replied, "It's nice to
meet another serious listener.
)
I was talking to 'The Cartridge Man' a few years ago and he said summat
about amps - I said 'Valves, I take it?'; his reply was along the lines *Of
course bloody valves*!! and the 'WTF else, dickhead (or similar)' hung
*unsaid* in the air for a few moments!!
