did this just become a vinyl vs. cd discussion?
digital sounds better and i always find it funny when people say they like the sound of vinyl because of it's "warmth" or "color." somebody please explain to me what "warm and colorful" sounds like. it's just a case of nostalgia imo. vinyl to me sounds slightly muffled and a little mid-heavy. it feels like i have to crank the hi-eq knob to get anywhere near the crispness of a well mastered digital recording. meh, maybe my carts suck though i guess. |

it also (obviously) depends on what you're listening to. |

Without getting into my own personal tastes.... I wouldn't call the sample rate of cd "precise, pristine quality"... unless we're talking about SACD with a 2.8 MHz sample rate...and even those can have issues. Taste is certainly subjective...but mathematically it's hard to not discuss aliasing and other data junk. I also think that in cases where the Nyquist criteria has to be lowered to accommodate for fundamental frequencies, you have issues unless alias-protected decimation is used...and that's not always the case. The bottom line...they both have their issues... cost really becomes a factor as to why one medium is more popular than another. The average consumers' ears aren't trained to hear sonic difference, but they are trained to follow clever marketing techniques (props to Sony in the 70's).
With that said, I use cds because they are cheap, easy to use, easy to carry, and convenient in many ways...but at home, nothing beats putting on a 1934 RCA pressing of Beethoven or Mozart and kicking back into la la land. |
DiFazio @ Columbia would like to have a word with you. |

we should have this battle royal, with one side chucking vinyl at the other who's chucking cds at them.
See who wins. Fight to the Death for the right to claim one media better than the other! |
