Only the soothing scratchs and speed variations of vinyl, thank you very much sir!

Yes, excessive dynamic compression is a horrible thing. Thankfully it hasn't spread to classical and jazz music, which is the sort of stuff I buy. Would really kill that music, as it depends so much on dynamic contrast; however it's not played on radios and not considered particularly `commercial' music so the producers don't mangle it like that.

A bit of an experiment a few years ago, I went around to a buddy's house with Blondies Plastic Letters on vinyl, he had the cd version.
Playing the cd (on an expensive 2 box high-end Micromega) and comparing it to the vinyl (played on an expensive Roksan turntable) was a real eye opener - the vinyl simply obliterated the cd for dynamics and overall sound quality.
I'm glad I kept my records!
