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.

Hello Sleepwalker 65 ,the gibberish is a fact , even though it is a different format the max for a record is just over 12 bits .
just look up what a bit is , educate yourself .
your system is Waay outdated. You are still back in the stone age 
as far as Audio capabilities.yes sometimes the truth can be painful.
go to Any quality store and you will see, maybe for the first time
your $500 CD player is as basic as it gets You get what you pay for !!
I wondered what the hell that 12 bit record thing was about. My brainpan was flopping.
Dear @sleepwalker65  : I can't agree with you but I hope you can agree with this.  Please read it with an " open mind " and for a " minute " forgeret about LPs and forgeret of what you are accustomed to listen in your room/system:

I like both formats.

Everything DIGITAL gets outdated pretty fast, the software, the gear, the source ... everything. Just like the computers, smart phones. You can throw them away in a few years.

The Analog is the opposite story. 40-50 years old records are still icredible, vintage cartridges still amazing, old turntables still superior, reel to reel still rocks. Analog studios for musicians still the best.

Who cares about digital if we have all these analog gear and music collection in analog format? This is a true heritage!

For a person who’s got a decent collection of vinyl and nice high-end equipment your digital fairy tales is nothing. And we don’t have to be open minded to realize this or that fact about digital bitrate, it’s obvious that many people don’t need it at all.

Serious music collection is not a collection of files, exactly like the art collection (it’s all about original, not a digital copy). People looking for something "real" and authentic in this digital world, because your digital is nothing, it’s on the cloud streaming, it’s free, it can be copied, it has no value, your entire "collection" of digital music can be on your iphone or on one flash card. It has no background history like any phisical media formats, especially vintage records.

Digital is good for education, for the quick access to the information, but please stop comparing a music collection in digital formats to an analog music collection. A good record collection is a pure gold, digital collection is nothing but a free bonus that everyone can copy pretty quick.

I’m getting sick of all that digital, i would rather go and buy more vintage records
