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?

Sorry for the off-topic... 

@artistx - I'm a fine-art photographer too and am currently working on putting together a few books. I also used to be a concert photographer through the 70's. 

Vinyl, no question. There is more music I like that is only available on vinyl vs. only on CD. And the Artwork, of course. 

Vinyl without Question. In spite of all the effort I find it much more involving. I have plenty of 35$ wonderful reissues but continue to find excellent used records in VG+ to M- condition for 3-12$. I am beginning to treasure many of my mono, mid 50s to 60s albums on London, Columbia, Angel and other labels. They have a certain magic. 

I have about the same number of albums on CD as I do on LPs (c. 4K each) and switch back and forth.  The digital is all ripped to a network drive for convenience.

I would not opt for either exclusively over the other.

@larsman Good luck with your book. I had my work published in a book many years ago. I enjoyed the process (but I’m a designer as well so…)
