General audio topics that don't fit into specific categories.

Clarification please...

Do you prefer the original CD reissues (not remasters) of pre '95 music to the original vinyl?

I almost always (not always) prefer the vinyl originals to CD or vinyl reissues/remasters. Since around '95 not so much.

That said some of the best sounds I am hearing today come from lossless free live music, boots and demo digital sourced off the internet.

IMO production is far more detrimental to playback "quality" than media or even typical shoddy manufacturing process. But I listen to pop/rock recordings exclusively and when thinking classical music I might have a different opinion.
