Preliminary tests with vinyl
I was pretty curious to make a rough comparison of a listening test between CD and vinyl. I went to a friend's place to digitize (24-bit @88200) one of his vinyl records and then compared on my system with the very same interpretation from a CD.
Although there is a lot of room for improvements during the digitizing phase and the impression is for this particular case only, I found the result to be somewhat similar with the differences between CD and high resolution audio: the stage opens up and is lighter with digitized vinyl. However static and others pops on vinyl are VERY annoying!
