CD's or Vinyl?


Gun to your head, if you could only pick one, which would you choose.  As nostalgic and sublime as Vinyl can be I think I'd have to go with Cd's.  Just seems cleaner and more pristine to me.

And You?

CDs for me. The ability to stream millions of songs has changed my musical journey immensely but I will never be completely reliant on some corporation to supply me music. It is good to remember what they giveth they can taketh away.

CD. They are much more convenient, last much longer, and most importantly, sound better.

An easy choice…neither ! Streaming Is the best bang for your buck. Not going to spit shine vinyl then get up every so many minutes to flip or bypass a song I can’t stand, warmer you say, I’ll turn up the heat ! Cd’s arguably better sound certainly no ticks, pops, and cheaper to get into.  Streaming.. give me the remote along with the largest music library available and a drink !

Neither.  Streaming is better and more convenient.  

OK, you have a gun to my head.  CD due to the clarity and lack of background noise, as well as convenience. But there is always a caveat that makes such a a

generalization inaccurate.  Excluded are many digital masters in the 80’s to 90’s.  Masters from this time need to be chosen carefully.  Many had so much digital glare they were fatiguing, if not outright annoying.  With this subset, the original vinyl was better.
