It is one thing to love a fully restored 1961 D-Type jaguar and use it as sole means of transport prefering it above all else, it is quite another thing to claim it is SOTA, Same applies to anyone buying a brand new Patek Phillipe mechanical watch today. However, it seems that many audiophile fail to appreciate this important distinction between SOTA and straight preferences. Vinyl is not SOTA audio reproduction in 2007 and it has not been for a long while. Today, that title belongs MCH audio playback and 5+1 channels of excellence will surpass 2ch of excellence every time, it is capable of doing much more. Whilst I can understand anyone's preference for 2ch vinyl, installing it in a public (student) library under the guise of a SOTA audio playback system is plain crazy. If the goal of the sponsors of this project is to make this music available to a wider audience not just the LPs, then the choice of playback equipment should be reconsidered, we are building a music library here not a museum.
