CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl


No comparison, CD always sounds so cold and gritty. Vinyl is so much warmer, smoother and has better imaging and much greater depth of sound. It’s like watching the world go by through a dirty window pane when listening to a CD. Put the same LP on the turntable and Voila! Everything takes on more vibrancy, fullness and texture.

Nothing to add other than media preference is an individual choice.

I prefer vinyl because I've always enjoyed it. But also too, 99% of the music I like will never have 24/96 rips so for me its cassette (which I hated in the 80's except for making mixes for people), vinyl, cd (which I do not care for) or lossy streaming.

I will say that vinyl is the least convenient, but I will also say that its sexy as hell when all shelved up. Conversely, having all your music in the cloud is a wonderful thing (its how I do movies).
