I love listening to many types of music on different types of playback systems. My favorite music to listen to are LP records. I have a nice setup that includes a modern turntable with a belt driven motor that minimizes pops, etc. I also clean all my new records with a record cleaner and after that process I hear virtually no poor sounds from these LP records. My favorites are recordings in stereo made in the 1960's. I also have a 1917 Victrola that I use and I enjoy that sound as well. I used to have a 1948 GE tube 78rpm record player and had over a 1000 1930 through 1950's songs. I gave those to one of my sons as getting everything to fit in the closet in my new Village's home meant serious downsizing to 2,000 LP's and 300 78's. My other favorite system is Blueray. This is a wonderful way to view concerts and these are recorded in HD picture as well as HD Sound in multichannel format. Simply stunning to watch and listen to.
CD's don't sound very good to me. Digitalizing music cuts some sounds out of the recording as compared to the analog recordings of LP records. MP 3 I am not too sure of as I have no experience with these. I guess if you like what you hear that is what is important!
