I had started a post, but it looks like it didn't save (THANKS OBAMA... I mean JOSH).

In any case, this article (www.metal-fi.com) puts it much better than I could. That is why I really listen to vinyl. And I have bought a tracking force gauge, alignment protractor, a spin clean, and a better phono preamp (along with a good cartridge). So in theory, depending on the master, I should certainly be able to get better sound than a CD. However, as I've stated before, this is music worship. You can't listen to vinyl casually, since it requires so much effort. It helps you focus on the music, which I love.

...I also have many discs with bluray audio, which is probably the best sound I can get (better than vinyl). But few albums have been released this way.
