Note that I did not say one was better than the other. Assuming they are well-made, vinyl will have higher distortion levels than a CD and will often have lower dynamic range (but not always!), higher background noise, and be much more susceptible to acoustic feedback. Vinyl playback from 20-20 KHz is often (but not always) a lot less flat than CD playback.That said, I generally prefer vinyl to CDs, even though I have an extremely good CD player. The dominant reason I prefer vinyl is not because RBCD is a poor method for recording music, but that most CDs are not produced very well. They fall far short of what the medium is capable of. In fact, to contradict the statement in my subject line, there is one case when a CD has exactly the same kind of sound as a vinyl recording: a CD-R carefully made from a vinyl record. When done right and with a top-notch CD player, the resulting CD-R is virtually indistiguishable from the vinyl.
