Bully for you, Keith....

But I can't tell the fluffing difference.  Not on the gear I've ever
used, anyway.  One time I heard a side-by-side test on a $10,000 stereo
and could tell...  but not on my kit.

On the other hand, I love the convenience of CDs... I love being able
to take them in the car, I love having more than 20 minutes of 
uninterrupted music, I love the relative sturdiness of them, I love not
hearing the dust and the scratches and the static pops.

Different strokes, as they say :)

And no, there will NOT be a vinyl release of "When Beauty Meets Abuse" :)
