$1200 vs $200 cd players

Yeah, I guess it is a bit vague. However, is this not the goal of a good audio system? To play music? Hence, "musical". I do think the recording has to be musical, or it does not matter what you play it back on.

What do the other audio systems play, baseball?

Some of the systems I've heard would probably do a better job at baseball. Have you ever heard music at a Circuit City?

I assure that a vinyl rig will fare worse than CD at circuit city, no TLC to make it shine

Are you saying a turntable that would be sold at CC will lose to a CD? If so, I agree completely. Vinyl is a total pain in the a** to sound it's best. Most will not go through what it takes for this. It is much easier and convenient to just drop a disc in a player and go. It's what I do 95% of the time, and I generally prefer records. Vinyl REQUIRES TLC, CD's do not.

One reason I still have a turntable is that I can buy 5 or 6 records for the price 1 CD. 3 to 4 if I compared to a used CD.
