The sounds were on a CD. We also played some vinyl but the to my ears
the results were not as dramatic.

It has been a few years but I recall the largest differences involved
active component changes like adding a external DA converter to the CD
player. My point is that until you are able to have time to evaluate
high end equipment to your own standards and on your own terms you can't
make blanket statements about audible differences.

A fool and his money are soon parted. Many industries prove that on a
daily basis.
