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?

Vinyl, no question. It's what I actually look forward to actively listening to. Streaming is awesome for when I want music in the background during my day. My CD player has been collecting dust for about five years now, not sure why it's even in my rack.

I think the amount of hype regarding the curation/care of records is completely overblown, and for me it's part of the magic. Oh no, I have to actively engage with physical media! Next you're going to tell me I have to turn the pages of a book (remember those?)! :)

You know what else von Karajan supported, right? Hint: it was about 8 decades ago. 

Both. New and re-releases are sometimes only Digital and Vinyl or Digital, Vinyl and CD, or Digital and CD, or Vinyl only. 
 

I’ve ran into this a number of times. 

I abandoned vinyl a few decades ago and never looked back.  I prefer CDs and streaming only; primarily for the sound and convenience.
