[net.audio] CD versus Vinyl LP's

	I recently purchased a Technics SL-P7 CD player. I didn't find it
in this area for under $300, the only store that can keep it in stock had it
on sale for $349. I can only compare the sound with what I am used to, my
medium priced direct drive turntable with a Micro Acoustic cartridge, the FM,
and several live concerts I've attended recently. I can't hear any defects
in the CD's I've bought. The lack of surface noise, clarity, and tremendous
dynamics are immediately apparent. Through my tri-amped system with a 100
watt amp directly feeding each driver, the sound is extremely close to concert
hall sound. I can't imagine anything else I could have done to make such
a significant improvement in the sound of my system.
