Hmmm.... I'm wondering what you're basing this theory that vinyl has better sound quality

Could you please show me these posts.

I realise that people say in theory records are true to the sound because they don't have quantizing error, but on CD's the quantizing error is at most 0.0000077%. And if you can notice that difference then you must be superhuman. Also most mixers ahve a total harmonic distortion (THD) of 0.05%. I think the best ones are around 0.005% wich is still a hell of a lot higher than 0.0000077%. And nowadays records are cut from a digital source like DAT, therefore there is no loss in quality from the master.

Where as I CAN hear the crackling on vinyl on the part just before the music kicks in. And from the very first time you play the record your quality of sound is decreasing.

I spin vinyl too but I'm not kidding myself in thinking that it has superior sound quality. Not that I can tell the differecnce unless the record is worn.

Note: this doesn't necessarily apply to MP3's wich are coded using lossy coding like MPEG's.

both! ive got my own vinyls, and i use the CD decks at work.
mixing on vinyl looks better and is more fullfilling, but doing it on CD is easier and u can do more things with it! plus its much much cheaper (to buy the CDs and to burn them! Shh!)

viy-nal !

vinyl for sure.

Part of what makes spinning such a great hobby is building your collection of records. I can look through my record box and see how i have progressed musicly from epic trance to deeper progressive. I can look at almost every record in my box and remember where i got it and why. Whats the fun in having a bunch of CDR's?

Its very satisfying looking at your own full crate of vinyl.

I've made the same point. It's going to take a while before people realize. Maybe if the CDJ-1000 is cheaper, more people will realize it faster.

I learned using cdj how to beat match and make transitions, but ever since i bought my first vinyl, I won't go back to cd's. Vinyl rules!! It gives you the more hands on approach and you can make cool sounds hehe!!! Vinyl all the way, except for the rare stuff I find online.

I just use the radio

i do both... even tho i like the vinyl better

I prefer vinyl, however I�m not close-minded enough to simply ignore CD�s. Hence, I use both when playing out. Each format has it�s own advantages and disadvantages, which when both at the disposal of the DJ mean that you have more creative possibilities and options. At the end of the day it shouldn�t matter what format is going IN to the system as long as what comes OUT sounds good! Besides all those people who shun CD�s, have a look at some of the top jocks; Picotto, Morillo, Clarke & PVD, just to name a few. They all spin CD�s as well as vinyl.

simply vinyl... at least for now, I am thinking of getting an extra CD deck. But I am not sure if I really even need it!

I sometimes like to take my korg keyboard, and play trance tunes on it with phat beats on my drum machine at parties.
Pppl go nuts when i play Ian Van Dahl - Castles in the Sky on the keyboard with a DnB beat!!
