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.

@mikelavigne OTOH maybe you need to find yourself better digital playback if you are open minded enough to consider it? You raise a good point, but digital has a long way to go before it can fully integrate into traditional systems with both a recording (archiving) and playback (streaming) function in one product that can stand alone or optionally interface to a PC. The variants of DSD have the performance potential, but have not reached a level of consumer-friendliness to go mainstream. That’s not to say that the mainstream even cares, but the products need to be more operator-friendly from an interface and functionality perspective. |
Man that has got to be some bad digital you have that it was so easily beaten by vinyl. I am a big vinyl fan but personally feel you need to spend a good 3-5 times more for a vinyl system to have it beat digital. Also, digital needs to be more operator friendly to compete with vinyl? Vinyl, while it can sound great is about as unfriendly a setup as I have very seen. |
