Don't have time to read it all...

Of course LP's sound much better ( besides of the cracking of course smile.gif ).

Sound recorded on a vinyl keeps full freqency, its pure analog, just like the source of the sound.

The problem with digital sound is obvious - it's the necessity of Analog-To-Digital converting. You all know what major losses to the sound can be made by coverting from one compression format to another. The same here :

Vinyl = pure sound
Cd = analog sound converted to digital and then to analog again (our hearing is analog rolleyes.gif )

CD wasn't invented for quality, it's a total nonsense. It was invented for comfort, its smaller, it don't wear out so fast , and so on. But it's sound is much, much WORSE.

Unfortunatly, there is no possibility of ABXing Vinyl and Cd because of the cracking wink.gif

Not the same issue. Look up Nyquist theory.

Nonsense. By this reply, you have done precisely zero research into the subject of the developmen of the CD format.

At this point, I wonder if you are trying to start some sort of flame war....

SUre you can. Use a 44.1kHz PCM A-D-A convertor, feed the analogue into this, and ABX the A-D-A'ed stream with the 'original' stream. The digitized version will keep everything audible -- pops/clicks and all. :-)
