...let's see what Antony Michaelson of Musical Fidelity has to say. MF has just issued their first turntable... not in 1963, not in 1973 but in 2003. Anyway, Mr Michaelson had a few comments that are pertinent to the topic:

"If people think that digital sounds better than analog, they must be deaf".

"There is a groundswell of people who are fed up with all this digital crap and they just want to have something that sounds human".

This from a company president that has made numerous CD players in the past and have just now introduced their first turntable. Yes, vinyl is dead and so are the tens or perhaps hundreds of thousands of music lovers and audiophiles that have recognized its superiority over CD. We are as dead as the sound of CD's. The good news is that we are in audio heaven!

I like those quotes! The first one is a little over the top, however. I may start collecting these quotes like some of the measurement folks collect citations.
