    what's funny is that in more recent interview Michel Fremer does not use the 44.1 sample rate as digitals limitations, I heard a pod cast a few months ago and he said vinyl sounds better for "whatever reason" I guess some one called him out on his bullshit which is grade a 100% money back guarantee bullshit!

    But, when well mastered, without dynamic compression and with tasteful EQ choices, the CD can not just match vinyl in terms of sound quality; it can surpass it.

    Not to mention how much more simple CDs are to maintain and play than vinyl records.

    Yes, plus there are not nearly as many compromises when mastering for CD like there is for vinyl, like for example bass summing, RIAA equalization, removing the bass, removing high frequencies, compression, etc., all kinds of problems! That, and the simpler process of pressing CDs than vinyl, all leads to pressing CDs being much cheaper to do than pressing vinyl.

    What makes modern CDs sound bad is the horrible amount of compression being done to music just to make it as loud as possible.

    Totally true! (along with the -96dB noise floor)

    But not everyone has the math background to understand that this argument is airtight.

    The CD is not a rough approximation. It is the perfect approximation of frequencies up to 22.05 kHz (well, a bit less because the low-pass filter kicks in, but still). Just look up the "Nyquist sampling theorem"
