Righto hobo 
No best or worst about it.
Although I’m pretty sure wire recorders are worse than vinyl. Early ones didn’t even have a consensus speed like early shellacs. I’ll bet that that cylinders were sucky too.

i've never run into a CD with inner groove distortion/pinch effect. i never ran into a CD that had tracing distortion gouged into it by a previous CD player. i've never run into a CD that had loud clicks and pops on it.
