CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

No comparison, CD always sounds so cold and gritty. Vinyl is so much warmer, smoother and has better imaging and much greater depth of sound. It’s like watching the world go by through a dirty window pane when listening to a CD. Put the same LP on the turntable and Voila! Everything takes on more vibrancy, fullness and texture.

Nor do they theoretically understand that for as long as humans are humans and not enhanced humanoids digital will never sound as good as analogue because there is a conversion and certain things are lost and distorted.

Totally agree
Keep patting yourselves on the back, guys. You are mistaking smugness for smarts.

@inna 

chakster, I didn't like your jazz funk.


then you have no taste, haha 

Vysotsky is so much better, it's not quite music, though, it's poetry accompanied by intentionally out of tune guitar.  

I am surprised, don't tell me you have russian roots too.
His poetry was pretty tought for its time and still today, my grand father wrote a book about him about 30 years ago. Anyway i hope you're kidding.

Are you offended? 
Try to tell any serious record collector that he's better off with CDs and it will be the greatest joke.

No, I'm not offended and I don't tell anyone what to listen to.  I have no beef with record collectors. 

I think that people who believe  that whatever they like is the best and always will be are a little small minded though.

Well, maybe small minded is a little harsh. How about short-sighted.

It would be great if we could get past the "my format rules, yours sucks" dynamic on these forums one day.
