I'm growing increasingly fed up with the quality of CD. Most record companies just use a 2nd or 3rd generation dub master to transfer instead of going back to the original session master. SACD is much improved but there is so much music that has not been transferred and is lying in record company vaults. The best I've heard is the Mercury Living Presence on SACD. Most of my favorite music is still on LP vinyl and I still maintain a moving coil cartridge and turntable. But the inner grooves are compromised especially toward the last side cut ends due to high forces in variable pitch cutting. There is no medium without drawbacks. I have a collection of reel to reel pre-recorded tapes but they are growing fragile and oxide is falling off with each playing and some Ampex tape is in need of baking to distribute lubricant. Computer wise, the companies have not standardized as to format. You buy some software and a year later it won't work or the company has gone out of business or doesn't support it any longer. Upgrade memtality to make you constantly spend money. Most affordable computer sound cards for the macbookPro are of questionable quality. Oh well, my hearing is deteriorating anyway. My 2 cents. Moe
