Re: Remasters vs. Vinyl

Hi,

I have to tend to agree with this.  In general my vinyls due sound better.

Of course there are factors you have to consider like the quality of your cd 
player and turntable.

When I went to purchase my turntable(Rega Planar 3) I brought along an MFSL 
pressing of Zep 2 and I tell you I never heard whole lotta love like that in 
my life!!  I sounded as if the entire band was playing right in front of me.

Its easy to forget how much regular CDs(I say regular because apparently the 
SACD are pretty good) and vinyl can let you down in sound qualtiy if you 
don't have an above average system.  A lot of the details gets lost and the 
difference isn't always noticeable.

My opinion anyway...Its all  matter of taste.
