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
