CD can be and is a pleasing and convenient format, I find it silly when I see folks who refuse to buy any cd and call themself a true music lover, even more silly when you wont buy an LP from a digital master. For those who feel this way more power to you but you are only hearing less then one percent of music released, and there is alot of good stuff out there. While I would love everything to be on Vinyl and enjoy hearing it more then digital, the fact remains you have to buy digital if you want a vast and current collection of music, and there are many times where my health or mood doesnt jive with the 25 minute LP listeing cycle.......poof in goes a 65 minute disc!
Bring back dynamic range: the sequel
another view into the painful reality of the current state of the recording industry.
I have so many stinking "loud" cd's that no matter what setting the preamp is on the result is truly loud and annoying when played over my wide dynamic range rig. These cd's are better served by a discman into my dog's ears.

This was an excellent article.
I think my next "upgrade" is one of format: Vinyl.
Now who would like a cookie?
