and your reasoning is not completely accurate.
"Vinyl, with it's pops, clicks, huge inconvenience, and continual cleaning and associated nightmarish geek conversation and 'selling' as it's been cued up is a thing that is happily moving rapidly toward an historical reference..."
Don't think so. Doesn't make this audiophile/musicophile very happy.
"Indeed, some redbook recordings that end up on a regular old CD these days blow away vinyl, DVD-A, and SACD...."
Please be specific! Which discs? I will gladly try them.
