a cd, which is (given good mastering) an exact digital copy of the dat tape that left the studio, or vinyl, which has been converted from dat to analogue, cut with a lathe into a piece of metal, then pressed into a piece of soft plastic, then tracked through a dust filled groove with a diamond connected to a magnet, then put through an riaa equaliser, before you hear the end result. which did you say sounds better? cd sounds 'better'. but i still love vinyl. one of those things <waves>
