The first generation of CDs didn't sound good at all to my ears. But
there was no denying that it was nice to be able to listen all the
way through the Eroica without having to flip the record over midway
through the funeral march. CDs were easier to store, easier to care
for, easier to play than lps, but mp3s were even easier, and despite
the lower sound quality, they've come to dominate the market. If
sound quality were driving the market, I would think we'd see more of
a movement to SACD, but that hasn't really happened.

Very smart. However, early digital recording sounded bad on vinyl and
CD. When Telarc put out the Maazel Pictures and other CDs that sounded
quite good and there were LPs to compare with, it was easier to tell
which was the better medium- agree?
NO. Actually, long ago when I did listen to quiet portions of a LP vs. the
CD, I wasn't able to hear much of a difference, if any. I often used the CD
as test to check that tonearm geometry, etc., etc. was up to snuff.
