How I missed my records

Also digital remasters by and large sound a lot worse than the original CDs!

Cannot agree to that, im most cases the remasters do definetely sound better than the original cd. Some of zappa's come to mind, Miles Davis - I could compare them directly, and after comparison I gave the original away for free. Could not sell this crap.
 
more resolution!

YEP that's exactly it. Mountains of resolution with the life sucked out of the music. That's how DVD-Audio stereo sounds to me. There's something very sick in PCM compared to DSD. I've listened to one SACD (harpsichord music) that for a few seconds sounded like vinyl! - rich harmonics, inner detail doing amazing things in my mind ( I get a taste sensation when this happens so I know it's the real thing!)
 
I am generally a tube poster, however I saw your post, and was in instant agreement, however the question I have for you is a little harder to answer. do you think that the increase in quality from a CD to a Vinyl is noticable even on cheap Wal-Mart Speakers? or does one require a very expensive stereo to tell the difference?

honestly, I have been back and forth on this issue, and I wanted to see what you all thought about it.
