137. Agree that high end digital is better, but...
IMO 44.1 16-bit digital vs. vinyl is a tossup, and the sonic quality of nearly all music sold today - MP3s - is just crap.

It's not just the 'noise' of the old systems that many people like - Vinyl introduces a dynamic which can be considered an instrument in its own right.

It's distortion - but not all distortion is noise. If you scope a note played on a trombone FFF you'll see a square wave. Is that noise or music?
