Digital versus Vinyl - Grinnell College Review


Thinking about the appeal of Vinyl myself, but; currently have a digital only rig. I found this to be a very informative overview of the differences between Digital (CD's/Streaming) and Vinyl Record playback. Also inclined to give credibility to the subject knowing it was authored by...well....college students with no apparent bias.

Somewhat tired debate that will go on indefinitely. Really about the convenience of digital vs purity of vinyl. Both have merits.

 
I have an upper midfi universal player from years ago that sounds plenty good enough for me. I don't feel compelled to upgrade to a pricey, esoteric, "boutique" product that offers marginal improvement. That being said, higher end products are generally more reliable. All in all, I am content knowing that roughly 1% have a better player, and I'm OK with that!
