@chakster , I make a distinction between real deejays, by using the term “deejay” and rap-“dj”s that are often referred to as “djs”. The real deejays are people who play music from media at radio stations and live events without scratching and mixing. They play music, not rap/hip-hop. They aren’t really interested in sound quality as much as getting the music out to the listeners, so in that they are similar. Part of the sub-culture of rap-“dj”s is about modifying the original sound, and while they use SL-1200mk2 turntables most often, they aren’t being used to transcribe anything but time code discs to drive serato-based systems to play out highly compressed semi-original content. It’s as far apart from music as you can get. And in the process, these ham-handed orangutans destroy millions of SL-1200mk2 turntables every year.
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.
