Effects of a tube change, vinyl vs. CD

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

I recently upgraded my amplifier power tubes and noticed a nice improvement via vinyl, the format I most often listen to. After a couple of weeks I listened to a few CDs and my impression was that the change in CD sound was much greater than the change in vinyl. Vinyl still sounds better but I would have thought that the degree of change would be the same in both formats. Who knows what's real in this hobby but does anyone have an explanation?

relative output? - stuck.wilson@gmail.com 13:52:17 09/16/06 (1)
