Here you go. This is all the proof anyone needs that LP is superior to CD:

Good one
FWIW i just got back from the California Audio Show. Not bad for a first attempt. When all was said and done for my ears the best sounding rooms were those playing vinyl or tape.
Now that's a real shocker Steve. What tapes did you hear?
Hah! Peter Gabriel, Neil Young and...........Michael Fremer can't be wrong!
So much for Nyquist.
I can't wait for the digital heathens to pipe up and say their sampled waveforms don't really look like that.
It will sound like a NOS DAC with no tubes.I recently visited a fellow who had a $150k Audio Note system. He had their best digital, and a big platter record player. We heard the same music twice once on vinyl, the other digital. I know you guys want me to say, that the record sounded so much better. In fact, the two were extremely similar.
Of course, both players were feeding a preamp to amp to speakers with tubes galore. So many tubes do have a way of blending many layers of, "Good," distortion.
My DAC does have 4 tubes. I know I can change the sound some by changing the tubes. I don't, because to my ear, the sound is just where I want it.... It raises the hair on my neck. Still, I am dying to know what a NOS DAC with no tubes sound like.

I know that video is dated, but I still think what Neil Young said rings true. Digital gave muscians control over the music, but they lost the music in the process. Neil referred to digital as sensory deprivation which I totally agree with. So much information is lost that your brain has to scramble to fill in the blanks. The other thing Neil said was that people "think" they are getting it all with digital, but they are not. That last statement that Neil made is damn sure true as every digital zealot will tell you by god, they are hearing it all. If truth be known, I am sure the vast majority of all digital lovers either never had an LP playback system other than a Kenner Close and Play when they were a child or the system they had was a piece of junk that either couldn't be set up correctly or never was set up correctly. So when those people heard digital for the first time, they thought they had entered the promised land and I get that. There is an old saying that ignorance is bliss and I believe that. And I truely believe there are a lot of blissfully ignorant people in the digital world who are clueless about how good analog really sounds and they puff their chest outs with their measurements and proclaim to be king of the hill and think they have it all. They do have all that digital is capable of giving them, but it is not everything that is really there to be heard. So go take your measurements, sit down and listen to your digital music, and congratulate yourself for having such a superior method of playing back music and keep convincing yourself that you are hearing it all.
So much information is lost [with digital] that your brain has to scramble to fill in the blanks ... it is not everything that is really there to be heard.
