Horp, that's all a bunch of bullshit. I had vinyl for years and years, because that's what there was then. When CDs came out, everyone except maniacs ditched vinyl, because there is so much noise on vinyl, and most record players have speed problems that make them suck. The music sounds under water a lot of the time, and every smidge of dust makes a pop. Plus vinyl always has surface hiss of some kind, and the turntable motors aren't exactly quiet, so the noise floor on vinyl is not so good.
For a million years people argued about belt versus direct drive, and it was an absolute draw. They both have advantages and disadvantages.
If you listen to a good-quality MP3 on good equipment, it will sound better than the equivalent on vinyl. For one, there won't be so much surface noise and pops, and the thing won't skip if you move around a little bit. Plus you can listen to the MP3 in a car, on the bus, in your living room, etc. And you can easily carry a thousand songs in your shirt pocket. And a thousand tunes on vinyl will weigh more than most women can lift.
So, stop coming on all snobby and mighty and stop running people down for doing what they prefer.
- having converted most of my music to mp3, i will say some of it is MUCH richer on vinyl.sputnik2
