| Vinyl vs. CD Posted: 6/21/2008 1:01:55 AM | I prefer vinyl over cd. My reason is the same as anyone else's, sound quality is a lot better and I enjoy looking at the album artwork while listening to vinyl.
As for mp3's. You can download any song but sometimes you don't have the full song or the quality is pure shit. | |

| Vinyl vs. CD Posted: 6/22/2008 2:07:17 AM | Of course vinyl is far better. Richer, deeper sounds. Plus, it's hypnotic watching it slowly turn... But, CDs are everywhere. You can't get new music on vinyl with any real ease and when you do, it's twice the cost. Added to how easily vinyl is destroyed, scratched, even spilling a drink on a piece of vinyl can ruin it forever. CDs are just easier. I generally buy a CD of music that i want. I buy vinyl that i need! i.e. Portishead 'Third', Radiohead 'In Rainbows etc etc | |

| Vinyl vs. CD Posted: 6/24/2008 3:02:14 PM | As a DJ, I'm not even touching this one! Doesn't matter how convenient or cheap the music gets, vinyl's the only way. I could give a rats a$$ about my cd's, but my vinyl... forget about it!
Diggin is a lost art but will never die... LONG LIVE VINYL!!!

| Vinyl vs. CD Posted: 7/3/2008 3:32:15 PM | Vinyl all the way!!!!
I have managed to assemble a huge collection over the years, (in the late 70's / early 80's I was a DJ), so some of them are not pristine, but I have a high end system costing upwards of 10k sterling including valve amp, & the sound is so real, so around you, that even after many many plays the music can move me to tears.
I do have cd's for the car, but to be honest they leave me flat. | |

| Vinyl vs. CD Posted: 7/5/2008 11:48:47 AM | | Vinyl sounds better, but they are too big and only place i can play them is at home...i have more music thats DIGITAL format than a CD now though | |

| Vinyl vs. CD Posted: 7/6/2008 5:33:54 AM | I love vinyl! In fact, most of my time shopping for music is spent looking for music on vinyl so I can find the correct or original versions of songs as they aired on the radio. I've spent some long days and nights restoring vinyl and editing tracks to match their 45 single counterparts.
btw: great thread. | |

| Vinyl vs. CD Posted: 7/8/2008 7:42:43 AM | | I've played records for over ten years and would prefer them to CDs .. | |

| Vinyl vs. CD Posted: 7/11/2008 9:28:38 AM | | Vinyl has so much more of a warm sound - and i think the crackles remind me of my childhood - lol | |

| Vinyl vs. CD Posted: 7/11/2008 11:50:27 AM | Vinyl is good, yes, although anyone who claims sound quality is better is tripping. Never noticed much of a difference at all. I own a Fresh copy of Beck's "Guero" on Vinyl and on CD. Played them both on very good stereo equipment. The difference? I had to turn over the vinyl, the CD just kept goin.
Love vinyl, but sound quality isin't that much better. | |
