I think Dan Driscoll said something about vinyls sounding better than CD's. I like vinyl myself, but it is an inescapable fact that vinyl warmth is, more than anything else, a product of analogue distortion and noise. I thought it would be fair to present a small comparison of the LP and CD formats. Please note that the point raised about SACD's improved sound because of replay of frequencies above 20 kHz has been disputed on this forum in the past. I included this quote because even Sony admit that vinyl warmth is a colouration and is not accurate sound reproduction.
