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 prefer listening to music, to the performance.  Vinyl is a bit better but I enjoy music on either medium.

Vinyl for me, if I was forced to pick just one. I like the larger size for the album art and I've got a great analog system... But I really like both, and there are some great CD box sets that will never be available on vinyl.

"Neither. Physical media is sooo 20th century." Very silly comment. If you like to listen to classical music there are often versions - conductors, orchestras, soloists etc of which there is only one version for streaming. Also unless you have a very high quality dac and streamer the quality is not in the class of either CD or LPs.

Vinyl for me. Prefer the medium and the ritual. No issues with CD but have a lot more records. Older analog LPs can sound magical.
