CD's or Vinyl?

@vetsc5 

Selective is right! Buying vinyl or CD without knowing the audiophile quality of the recording is a true hazard to the hobby. 

Is there a reliable website that you use for such information?

Hello goodlistening64,

Glad to help.  Here are my go to sources;

I also go directly to the record companies that select/sign the artists

Enjoy the music.

LPs are cool

CDs are not

I stream

@laoman  When you say Vinyl sounds more like live music, you must be equating all the pops and clicks on vinyl to the coughing and hacking you can't avoid hearing at a live show?  On that basis. I must agree, Vinyl does sound more like live music. 🤣

@bigtwin 
Pops and crackle? You have a poor analogue system and do not look after your LPs? Well that is your problem.
As I stated in this thread, Until recently I attended usually 2 concerts, often more a week. In addition because of my circumstances I got to hear and compare a large number of classically trained singers live and in recordings, sometimes in the same venue on the same night.
Nearly all artists preferred the sound of vinyl to other sources as it is far closer to the live performance and does not have the digital "glare" of CDs. Streaming is a distant third source. I guess if people listen to pop music this does not matter much.
