Led Zep played on an origional (good quality) 70's system played alongside a 90's CD
system aren't even in the same league.
The 70's sound required the earthyness that you can not get with digital.
You have to remember the engineers mastered the records to sound the way
they did on analogue and not the clean high definition sound we get these
days.
Remastering old records involves changing the feel of the record.
Listen to the last 5 seconds of "wish you were here" by the floyd on 70's
vinyl and then on 90's CD and they are not remotely the same, sadly
For modern music though, its recorded digitaly for a cleaner sound
and therfore sounds best via CD (Although as said, mixing CD's suck big
mamas)
Adios
