CD getting as good as LPs - recommendations
Having bought a German Audionet Art V-2 CD-transport anda Chord DAC64, I was delighted how good CD can sound these days. I think the rigid affirmations "CDs never can sound as good as LP" no longer hold true. There's by now a lot
of excellently produced, or remastered CDs (not SACD, DVD-Audio) that, given good CD-players, sound excellent, sometimes better than the old LPs.
Good examples are a lot of remastered CDs from the EMI "Great Recordings of the Century"-series. Then, there is the XRCD-series from JVC. In Germany,even high-end-die-hard-vinyl-pope Attila Csampai was forced to admit that they sounded better than the original LPs on his state-of-the-art turntable system. I did a vinyl-CD-comparison with a vinyl-fan, and even fooled him when playing from CD. Are there goners which made the same experience? And what are your recommendations for excellently recorded, or remastered CDs that make you smile?
