Vinyl or wait for the new stuff??

Well then, it stands that we have one person who owns both formats and says that LP is superior, and one person who owns both formats that says digital is superior. I say lets take it to Florida and get a recount. But remember, the analog gets a hand recount, and the digital goes into a machine for the total. I just hope for your side, that the digital is in a "1" mode and not a "0" mode when checked.

Albert,did you do a stand up on The Tonight Show the other night? I swear it was you! :)

Now Now, let's try not to forget the all important absentee ballots. Those who use there portables, I know if they get in the vote is sure to swing.... Then I guess we'll need to know the best headphones for under $10.

One more thing, thank you for the peace offering, I do want to make friends here. We all have one goal in common and that's to enjoy listening! How we get there will always be up for discussion. I just love music!

Myoussif is asking a rational question to those of us that are slightly obessive in getting the best sound. From his post it reads that he knows he will spend a lot to get into to to another format and is asking for our advice. Myoussif, if you can afford it then go for Vinyl now. The new format wars aren't done yet SACD, DVD-Audio or what. It time to wait. However, Vinyl has the great library of the best performances and recordings of the stereo era. Most people agree that there was a period (roughly) from 1954 to 1968 when the great labels were carefully doing stereo recording. Tons of used records are available and the re-issues are so damn good that it would be a same to pass up this opportunity. Personal side bar is that I have never regretted pursuing what I like and the vinyl vs cd discussion is fun but pointless. Get the music and enjoy it. If you like several different medias so be it. I prefer vinyl like Albert Porter. Someone can like MP3 and I could give a rat's ass. Thank God we are different in our tastes - that leaves better pickings for all groups. Vinyl vs CD makes for a passionate discussion in sharing views, and we learn by usually picking up good music suggestions from the other person's opinions. BTW: having friends over for music sessions usually gives us a chance to share our music finds or compare several different artist or performances of the same works. We always enjoy the music and our discussions on our music preferences. Usually, preferences on equipment or media is never discussed. Myoussif, go for the vinyl and have some fun.
