see, this surprises me. sound quality means quite a lot to me. but i really don't listen to much rock or other organic music. most of the stuff i enjoy is very clean and artificial, and it lends it self very well to impeccable digital recordings.

i guess that's why i really don't care for vinyl very much. sure it's good when listening to to something with soft sounds like Beatles or Doors. but for stuff like Pink Floyd, i dig my flac rips of japanese remastered gold discs
