Haven't had time to read all posts but this is a good thread.

I am totally pee'd off spending good money on CD's that sound rubbish! I know they can sound better / good as I have many of the that do - most of the recent CD's are poor.
I have a high end CD and do not feel like going back to vinyl - CD's are more convenient and don't pop and crackle or fluff the needle (sorry Styli ).

As for MP3 quality - give me a break! Why pay as much or nearly as much for compressed stuff?!

The Times ran an article on why CD's are sounding rubbish - What is the failing music industry doing about it?... The last bit is most interesting, about a chap not buying any CD before he's looked at a downloaded sample to see if it's compressed - good idea.
And yes, the better your equipment is the more rubbish the compressed music sounds.

[QUOTE="speedy.steve, post: 700818, member: 2692"] Haven't had time to read all posts but this is a good thread. I am totally pee'd off spending good money on CD's that sound rubbish! I know they can sound better / good as I have many of the that do - most of the recent CD's are poor. I have a high end CD and do not feel like going back to vinyl - CD's are more convenient and don't pop and crackle or fluff the needle (sorry Styli :) ). As for MP3 quality - give me a break!
