CD's suck.

The nature of music is vibration. These vibrations create sound waves that then effect us emotionally, spiritually, intellectually and physically. Each of these sound waves produces a myriad of overtones which also effect us on very subtle levels. Whether you're listening to Punk Rock or Mozart, these sound waves and overtones give the music its life. For music to remain musical through the recording process, these sound waves must be continuous, flowing and organic. Analog recording and playback machines (records, tapes) retain these musical qualities. Digital does not.

I read the whole article and it is very very interesting.
I must say that I agree in principle with the theory behind it....
The sound wave is deconstructed and then re-build in a DAC. Even the most sophisticated computer will alter the original wave...
But in reality we are moving away from analogue even at the source...
Keyboards are used instead of pianos, electronic drums, sax etc...
We can debate that you canno call this music anymore... which is fine... but what is the best way for me to play this stuff back?
I am being devil's advocate here... don't get me wrong... but we may be stuck in the 80s (like with our cars)...
