CD's or Vinyl?


Gun to your head, if you could only pick one, which would you choose.  As nostalgic and sublime as Vinyl can be I think I'd have to go with Cd's.  Just seems cleaner and more pristine to me.

And You?

I think the question is a little bit too binary - but good question nevertheless. This is a debate I've been having with myself recently and have come to the conclusion that the choice is digital. The reason I say digital is that the ADC conversion used for a lot of CDs was sub par and, until recently, the provided a reason to maintain a vinyl system if one had those recordings on vinyl. However, streaming has advanced so much that it is far more economical to access more recent masterings via streaming rather than buying them twice on CD. I am in the fortunate position to be able to compare high end digital to high end record reply systems, and they are on a par. But vinyl has non-audio drawbacks, so digital now wins for me.
