CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl
No comparison, CD always sounds so cold and gritty. Vinyl is so much warmer, smoother and has better imaging and much greater depth of sound. It’s like watching the world go by through a dirty window pane when listening to a CD. Put the same LP on the turntable and Voila! Everything takes on more vibrancy, fullness and texture.

Here is some discussion on digital recording vs. tape from someone who DOES know what he's talking about. I've been a Boston fan since their debut on FM radio in 1976. Tom Scholz is an M.I.T. guy and a hardcore analog devotee. Interesting analog stuff: http://www.thirdstage.ca/boston/articles/interviews/382-classic-sound-of-boston-is-still-tom-scholz-... Note the last paragraph on double tracking- recording an analog vocal signal to computer. Hmmm.... |
"Uuugggghhhhh!!!!!This isn’t a debate on perception, it’s a debate on the medium and associated technologies. C’mon people, it’s not about WHO is right or wrong." sleepwalker65- Cmon, YOU knew what was gonna happen. With a title that includes "Crushed by Vinyl"...oh never mind. Entertaining read. It's a group of little boys arguing in the sandbox. We all like what we like, and even the know it alls won't change that. I hope everyone on the right half of the country is staying warm. It looks awful in the news reports. A perfect time to get those tube amps cookin'...especially those big bottle Class A SET's! It's a little rainy here, in weirdoville SoCal. Perfect day to put on my Pete Townsend white jumpsuit for some bin diving.There are cheap,WHITE HOT STAMPERS waiting to be found! |
