that's my take on the vinyl
(not saying it's all of you)
to me music is where you WANT technology!! Binaural Flac through high quality speakers....WOW!!
Haha, Ed dick riding, that's funny. Yeah sometimes technology can really do wonders with music, but there are certain albums, in my opinion, like After the Gold Rush or Harvest, that have a raw, unproduced, true sound to it through a vinyl record. Like one of my friends says, it's warm, like a campfire
And I can read the liner notes.

It depends on the album & who mastered it. Old music is usually better on vinyl because...
A) Current CD remastering trends are poor
and
Pearl Jam, on the other hand, doesn't sound much different on vinyl than on CD. They are one of those bands who talks a big game about vinyl, but then they release vinyl that is mastered just as crappy as the CD version. Therefore, it's pointless.
Vinyl were prone to click and pops... and scratches and skips. They were also very touchy... no dancing too hard because one bump and your record was ruined. and... try playing a record in your car.
Cassettes had hisss and 8-tracks were just fucking annoying... except you could play them in your car.
CDs were great because no more clicks and pops or hissing or track changes. They sounded clear and clean. You need to spend a ton of cash to get the equipment required to get records and tapes to sound this clean. CDs allowed regular Joes to listen to clean music at regular Joe wages.
...
Vinyl is more of a novelty, now. The sound is different... and I actually like the little clicks and pops that I spent most of my youth trying to eliminate.
Hail, Hail!!!

For me... it's the memories. The smell of the new record.. how clean and black and SCRATCH FREE it was when you first pulled it from it's sleeve.
The little **plop-thump** noise the needle makes when it contacts the spinning vinyl... it reminds me of being a kid and hearing that for the first time.
Hail, Hail!!!
Damn that's like an orgasm to my ears.....plp-thump...hisssssssssssss-do do do do do
No matter how you do it CD's are compressed from the original, vinyl is not.
You dont have to spend 1000's to have a nice set up either. You'd be surprised what you can find in pawn shops.
I still prefer vinyl. And if you follow some of the record message boards, it is making a decent comeback.
There are record companies out there who are exploiting the vinyl resurgance and making crappy sounding records from CD's and calling them audiophile pressings just because they're 200 grams or whatever. There are also labels doing everything just right. It all depends. You have to do research if you want the best sounding version of something.
This is only one example, and it's the most popular group of all time!
How do you prove a record is better than a CD with mp3 files (crappiest format of all)?
Records do sound better on a good system. I hear things on records that I don't hear on the CD recordings. As someone said earlier you don't have to spend $1,000s for something decent. It's worth the investment. More records are being made now than many realize, but finding older releases can sometimes be a challenge.
Hmm....'technologically' speaking, if vinyl was the best the. We wouldn't have had the advent of cd, mini disk or any kind if digital audio. Oh yeah, and I'm sure any audiophile would find that anything available at a pawn shop would suffice their needs. So do you still have an 8 track player in your car too? I love that rewind feature they finally invented.

Also they are kind of like mini posters where you see the artwork, not like small cd inserts.
and when I listen to a vinyl, I only do listen to music, without doing anything else at the same time. it's just a moment for myself and music. like a ritual.

it was a metaphor you dirty,dirty girl! (i certainly hope you are female!!
ps I am loving that fact most artists are using 180g
Other formats were touted as sounding better, although they did not. They are just more convenient. It wouldn't be practical to have an in dash record player (though they have been made), but 8-tracks, cassettes and CDs are good for this purpose.
see "spin the black circle" for reasons...
And the crackle and hiss of the vinyl are pretty f'n sweet, too!
