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.
As someone with a huge vinyl collection I’d definitely pick the newer remastered CD’s. The best vinyl I’ve heard can approach them but not surpass. Many of the best sounding records are cut from digital anyway.
The sound quality on my system is Vinyl = CD = Stored files = Streaming. It is all in the components and how you put them together as to the sound quality you get out. You can see my systems under virtual systems.
One can assemble a warm, natural, laid back analog sounding digital system and a harsh, detailed, lean analog system if you set your mind to it, or visa versa. Things have changed greatly over the last ten years.
No...no...no... I need both, so much great music has only been released on CD, and likewise, only released on LP. Why cut myself off from a part of our rich, recorded, heritage?
