OK...OK...OK...I will accept that CD's are here to stay and are the promised land. Now my lp's are no longer the limiting factor in the chain. Can someone tell me how the levels of distortion in old (1970's MacIntosh) electronics compare with the new "clean" digital CD's? How is the rest of the reproduction-chain doing? In the "old" days the argument was not CD vs LP but "just how low do distortion levels have to be to be inaudible?". With amplifiers with enough head room and heat sinking the point was moot because of the lousy sources. What's the story now? P.S. Goldenears stay home please. Music listeners only.
