+1!

Great thread, BTW.

The best players can transmit great tone through a scratchy old cylinder record, a tinny transistor radio, and even "lossy" technology like MP3...

Others will sound bad playing though $100K worth of high-end audiophile gear.

I know it's a cliche, but it's true: It ain't the meat, it's the motion.

Personally I think the whole "analog vs. digital" argument is silly. A $99 MP3 player won't sound as good as a high-end "boutique vinyl" system, but it will definitely sound better than the Walkman style cassette player it replaced.

For most people, the music they listen to in the car or while jogging, doing aerobics, or even listening at home, the sound quality is BETTER TODAY than ever before in the same context...
