Quick question. Aside from those of us who DJ and the audiophiles who don't DJ, what percentage of the crowd is actually going to be able to tell if a DJ is spinning vinyl or CD based solely off of sound quality?
A very, very finite amount. Arguing about it is moot point; high-quality CDs sound just fine in a club setting and most people in the audience wont know the difference.
God, I hate these debates.

The only reason why you people spend thousands to get cdjs is because Dj tiesto is getting a big, fat, 4 digit check in the mail every month to sponsor the equipment.
It's not like you crackers know when you are being marketed upon.... |

harriz is right. vinyl 12" SINGLES are currently the best sound quality format available.
first, you guys argue that the original source is digital, so it doesnt matter. so harriz points out the original is 24bit 96khz reduced to 16bit 44khz for cds, whereas there is no reducing when going to vinyl. so then the argument becomes oh well you cant tell the difference between 24bit96khz and 16bit44khz. haha! and then another gimp correlates the sampling rate to audio frequency range stating the ear cant hear above 22khz and cds are 44khz so you cant hear that supersonic range anyway. fukn hilarious!
guys, the higher sampling rate is not so you can record higher audio frequency. the sampling rate is how many chunks of data per second. its the resolution, the fidelity. the higher the sampling rate the better.
some other douche said the rich bass is because of feedback. hahahahahahahahhahahahaha. oh my lord. my sides hurt.
when listening to vinyl, you are listening to a tiny microphone pickup, much like the ones used on an electric guitar. its a live sound. when listening to a cd, you're actually listening to a DAC (digital to audio converter). DACs don't sound as good as the real thing. they take of what limited data availble per second and try to produce an analog version. |
