Am I right in assuming the common consensus that vinyl
has better quality than cds?
I am wondering how this can be when, before being pressed, the music
on vinyl is *already* in digital form.
If you take an audio tape and convert to cd, its not going to sound better
than the original.
So why does digital music converted to vinyl feel better than cds?
