Akai M8,

You are smoking some serious herb....

"I had all-in-ones that sounded better than any MP3 made- and as good as CD 44/16 even SACD has a thin sound to it"

That is a factually incorrect statement. Why am I even responding?

"any single-play Sony-Pioneer-Technics table from the 70's will sound better than a CD- I've head at least a dozen of them, and have kept 4, and sold the rest"

Akai M8, are you serious? You can't be....maybe the beeping from the french fry machine distracted you. Blanket statements like these show that you may not know what you are talking about. There is no doubt that great vinyl systems sound wonderful. Your description of why analog tape, lp etc sounds better is fundamentally flawed....in other words, you don't know what you are talking about. Excellent analog sounds very pleasing as does excellent digital....both require alot of work, money and compromise.

In my original e-mail, I was referring to the mass market where average digital has won the war due to convenience, acceptable(to some) sound quality and price factored in. You can preach about the digital armageddon all you want but the consumer has spoken. There were incredible buggy whip makers at one time too. I'm sure the Sony/Pioneer/Technics in your setup must be incredible for you to make statements such as these. You might list your setup (be truthful now) so we can get a basis for your assertions.

I was merely making observations about the music biz. Peace.
