[Villager Audio Video]

Compression is done in the mixing room and has nothing to do with the digital medium. Because of the noise floor, Vinyl has a maximum dynamic range of 60db, 16 bit CD audio has 90db and a 24 bit digital recording can bring up to 144db of dynamic range.

Don't get me wrong, I love vinyl. It's very musical, warm and the whole process of pulling out the album, setting it on the platter and lowering the tone arm is very romantic.

I sell alot of high end audio gear and I have a serious turntable setup in my showroom. You are all invited to stop by for a listen anytime. How knows, you may find it quite enjoyable. It's remarkable what a real in home audio system can accomplish.
