Similar argument to which make of car, mode of travel, etc is best. I never bought a CD player so have limited experience in comparing the two formats on a decent system in ideal circumstances. My digital listening has been with mp3 players and home music recording for which it is ideal. If you want to be more involved with the music that you are listening to, then vinyl is the logical format. However an interesting section of this well written article mentioned that before analogue recording and playback, live music was the lone source. Surely this would represent the pinnacle of involvement and excellence. So has the reproductive quality aspect given way along the timeline to convenience?!

Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
I am sharing this for those with an interest. I no longer have vinyl, but I find the issues involved in the debates to be interesting. This piece raises interesting issues and relates them to philosophy, which I know is not everyone's bag. So, you've been warned. I think the philosophical ideas here are pretty well explained -- this is not a journal article. I'm not advocating these ideas, and am not staked in the issues -- so I won't be debating things here. But it's fodder for anyone with an interest, I think. So, discuss away!
