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?

Me again,

Just a brief addendum to my previous post on the subject.  Have become much more “selective” as to what company is recording/pressing the vinyl when purchasing. For classical music first choice is Deutsche Grammophon and for jazz our go to is Blue Note.  Columbia also produces excellent jazz pressings.  Whether your preference is Cd, vinyl, streaming or other sources, in the end, Enjoy the music

I got your back.

That would be Bob, from Saugerties, New York. Last I heard, he was hiding out in a cabin high up in the Catskills. No internet up there and his phone is a beeper.

Selective is right! Buying vinyl or CD without knowing the audiophile quality of the recording is a true hazard to the hobby. 

Is there a reliable website that you use for such information?
