Bingo.
I'm soooo sick of these compressed MP3 formats and all this other junk out there today that compromises audio. Yeah, it's all on the computer at your fingertips, but that's just not the point of true (i.e. analog) audio.
This thread is getting me pumped up. I'm listening to vinyl right now in my office as I type... I'm glad you guys get the point too. LP or cassette on 2 speakers.
I've had people listen to my cheesy system (1976 McIntosh MC250 running two Paradigm 7se's (circa 1989) with my '84 Integra 2070 cassette deck) swear they were listening to a really good CD. LP and cassette are so much more warm (if you have a good turntable and an exceptional cassette deck).
Of course I have decent enough CD player, but on a lot of disc, you can really hear the difference between formats. CD looses a ton of warmth on many recordings.
The only problem is the degradation of these formats due to playback or time...
