Re: The Hi-Fi Chat and sales thread
Especially when you finally realise that, sadly, despite the hype and hyperbole, vinyl cannot compete with CD for actual sound quality, as in source material unchanged.
I have been desperately trying to get vinyl to work, as I remember it being so good. However, my (admittedly much modified but not quite finished) CD67 just pees all over it on challenging recordings. To be honest, I was gutted, but I suppose didn't surprise me. If you compare the technical specifications of the two there really is no comparison. Vinyl, like valve amps might sound 'nice', but it just doesn't do accuracy like CD does.
Keeping hold of my modified Planar though, as I feel I owe vinyl a chance, and have some ideas...
