That ended my participation with records. Also, records do not remotely have the low frequency capability or high frequency capability of digital. Records are about 30 Hz to 12,000 Hz. They have a high noise floor. It's easy to hear and always there.

The operative word is "can". A properly stored CD will be kept intact. There is zero guarantee with a record and they are extremely expensive. Also there is the issue of wear. Every time you play a record there is wear and it is not negligible.

When you play your record the stylus must be carefully examined and cleaned. I know about dust and when the record is played the stylus collects dust. This alters the sound and creates pops and scratches. It also exacerbates record wear. Does everybody use Accutrack? Doubt it.

Heh, heh, well I do listen to CDs 4:1 record these days, so I can’t disagree. The quality and convenience of the CD can’t be beat.
