    You are right only when you speak about new, digitally recorded music. Old stuff
    (especially before the 80s) will always sound better on vinyl (when it's carefully
    handled). And it's not just a consensus, but pure facts: on vinyl you can hear (or
    better said feel) the frequencies above 20 000 kHz, on digitally recorded music it's
    cut off.

    As dj I can only say that CD or mp3 will never change vinyl as vinyl is the best dj
    tool, and djing is not only about the music but a show with turntables and vinyl.

    Cheers,
