I agree that vinyl will outlast the compact disk. A few years ago I stopped buying cds (except for sacds). I ripped all the cds into my library and packed the discs away. Much easier to handle and search for a song. With SOX upsampling to 176.4khz and using a good dac (with a low jitter clock), it actually sounds better than playing from the disc directly. I still will jump to buy a vinyl record but can't do the same for cd. Especially older bands that did not truly capture the full sound during tape/record analog to digital conversion onto compact disc.
The demise of the music CD inevitable?
Hi,
Back on campus, my senior year. Everywhere I look, its all earbuds and cell phones streaming audio. None of my friends would even consider purchasing a CD! I as well almost completely stopped purchasing CD's now that I have lossless streaming from TIDAL. It seems that SQ is not an issue anymore for this generation, its content that is most important and there is no loss of it out there in the streaming world.
