audiophiles?

How good a stereo system do you have to have before you can hear the difference between an LP and a CD? You know, how people say that CDs lack the warmth of an analog recording? I know I don't have a great turntable, but it doesn't sound nearly as good as the CD player. The CD has a deeper, more vibrant sound. Or maybe I just have no idea what's missing, and one day I'll figure it out and all CDs will sound crappy ever aver after.

Yeah, it took them a while to figure out how to mix music for CDs.

it's not just that. the sampling rate is much higher now. when they first came out, a lot of nuances were lost in the digitizing.

Cool.

Btw, thought you might be interested in what's up with the Machines of Loving Grace. I wrote an article at Wikipedia. It's not a great article, but you should see what was there before.

nicely done! and cool that there may be a new album, too.

Benzel says there is almost no guitar presence on the new recordings.
