Bugger me, did you see the winning bid?


I watched it end - it romped home in the last 2 minutes!


You could get a proper one for
that, or a really good CD player.


'Really good CD player'...??

(Is there any such thing as a really good CD then? :-)




Oh yes.

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.

There are many, many more. I'm as rabid a supporter of CD and SS as you
are of vinyl and tubes (having quite a long history of listening to both).

Choral music? Why ever not?

Rabid? Me? :-)

(The last CD I bought was an Oi Va Voi promo disk from eBay a few weeks
back - it says 'Not For Resale' on the cardboard sleeve!! :-)

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...?

preferred medium!! :-)
