NO, YOU ARE INCORRECT, I stand by what I said all along, from approx ~ $400 and up, vinyl sounds better than CD dollar for dollar. CD does not exceed LP sound dollar for dollar except at the very bottom (< ~ $400) sector of the source market.

Lots of us did. > I think he's been mostly correct in this thread, but other people have misconstrued what he's been saying. Unfortunately this just makes him hammer away at the same message over and over, which is rather tiresome. I think we should all adopt a general rule of making our point no more than twice in the same thread. If other people are too dumb to get it, shrug and move on. I say mostly correct rather than wholly correct because his argument has been presented slightly the wrong way round. Instead of saying that the best audio costs a ton of money and vinyl is better than CD at the top quality end (something I'm incapable of judging), his argument reads (mainly) as 'the more you pay for vinyl equipment the better it is, and $ for $ it's better than CD', which is almost certainly nonsense for audio as it is for most other goods - it fails to take into account the Prada factor. <http://www.geeksugar.com/284038> Unfortunately a lot of people have responded with a 'horse for courses' argument - you can't commute to work with top-end vinyl equipment, which is true but a non sequitur.
