Vinyl Records or Cd's which one do you prefer?

Answer 1

The thing is, this day CD (as in all digital recording process) are capable to reproduce sound performance very accurately/perfectly. But sometimes we human doesn't like perfect thing.

And thats exactly what vinyl does to the recorded content. It add some imperfection (limited frequency and dynamic, wow & fluttter, noise & hiss, pop & crackle, etc) that somehow give an impression to smoother/warmer reproduction to the original recorded music.

But then, nowadays vinyl cutting are being made from digital masters anyway. Its just too expensive and elaborate to do pure vinyl master.

And back to your question, my preferences is CD's. Because we can make perfect thing less perfect but not the other way around.

Just enjoy the music and have fun.

Answer 2

Personally, my preference varies depending upon what I am listening to. If I am playing to the classic rock that I listened to growing up, then it should most definitely be played on good 'ol vinyl, but if I am listening to slightly more modern releases, then it must be listened to using a CD as the tone set using a record player just wouldn't fit the feel of the music.

Answer 3

I love my old vinyl records and every hiss and crackle on them , but . you don't have to turn a cd over , you can fit 150 mp3s on 1 cd and digital recordings are clearer.
