Here's a testimonial for ya. My wife's out of town so I started playing music first thing this morning. :D Typically it takes about 4 record sides to really warm up my cartridge for critical listening. The bass tightens up, the soundstage expands, and the true glory of vinyl finally appears. While I'm flipping warm up records, I typically spin some CD's and have what is recognized as a pretty good, if not excellent, CD player; Modwright Oppo 105, with tubes, separate power supply, Bybee mods, etc. Modwright did a fantastic job with this and it is sort of vinylesque, to create a new word and per the Absolute Sound review below.

With my wife gone, our Doberman has not left my side even for a minute the last couple of days. Right up until I started playing CD's. Thats when he got up and immediately went into the next room. As soon as I completed the cartridge warm up ritual and started listening to vinyl, he came back in and laid down in the sweet spot. Just thought I'd throw this out to either settle the vinyl vs digital controversy once and for all, or just stir things up. I guess this could technically be considered as a "blind test" because even though he's pretty smart, I don't believe the dog was watching when I switched from CD to vinyl.

Pets, our cat loves Neil Young Line at Massey Hall she will come lay done on the carpet and relax . Now once I put some Joe Bonamassa on, she gets up and leaves. Any CSN&Y she comes back in the room and has a listen. Interesting tid bit about cats : Humans and cats have a similar range of hearing on the low end of the scale, but cats can hear much higher-pitched sounds, up to 64 kHz, which is 1.6 octaves above the range of a human, and even 1 octave above the range of a dog.[SUP][8][/SUP] When listening for something, a cat's ears will swivel in that direction; a cat's ear flaps (pinnae) can independently point backwards as well as forwards and sideways to pinpoint the source of the sound.

Pets are cool.
 
Dogs don't like digital. It hurts their ears.
 
My cat was doing the same thing yesterday. When I started playing vinyl she climbed up on the couch and sat next to me for the next 4 hrs.

When my dog was still alive she did the same thing, she didn't like digital though.
