sorry but that statment is flat out wrong...

In practice a vinyl record has about 80db of dynamic range between its maximum signal intensity and the noise floor.... A CD has almost 2x that.....

In practice modern redbook CD's are engineered with the goal of being loud. They suffer from having almost no dynamic range whateoever.

true enough with mainstream music... but then you must also agree you are better off ripping your vinyl records onto CD while the record is new... then use the digital copy while preserving the orgional....

also not 'all' sound engineers are compression junkies so your not really making a fair comparison...



anyway.. welcome aboard... what home audio forums are good ?

^hmm Ive been there before.... looks like an excellent forum....

I don't have the time or inclination to peruse all of those links on tube amps but the ones I did look at all seemed to have solid info.... and I especially like the way that there are no outlandish claims... two thumbs up
