vinyl vs CD
This is really a matter of opinion. Since vinyl is analog it reproduces the sound as it was recorded. On the otherhand a CD is digitized sound meaning that a sample is taken from the analog source, usually at 44khz for CD. This sample then is made into binary 1 and 0 to represent that wave. Most audiophiles will say that analog, like vinyl, will sound warm or full and digitized sound sounds flat or lacking. I've heard that a new vinyl will sound better than a cd but over time it will wear out and degrade sound quality, where the benifits of digital come in. Like all digital encoding there is a loss, but most of the time it is negligible to most ears. If you encode a CD or a vinyl to 128kbps mp3 i doubt there will be a huge difference besides popping or other noise from the vinyl source. It is mostly a matter of what you like to hear. I hope i'm correct in my sayings here or that would look dumb
