A worthy rebuttal to the audiophiles’ complaining

For the last year or so, there has been a slug of articles about how awful digital music, remastered CDs and currently manufactured CDs are. Personally, I think the authors are full of crap and are more likely whining, aging Hippies and/or Boomers who aren’t keen on the march of technology. Finally, someone more honest published this on Salon.com stating how the critics use rather subjective descriptions. As if “warmth” is an absolute with audio. I loved vinyl when it was one of the three dominant formats up to college. However, I will never miss vinyl’s short-comings: skipping, dust, scratches and brief format. I still hope to buy a USB-based turntable to transfer some records we have that will never be turned into CDs or digitized for downloads.
