CD's or Vinyl?

Well, I encourage you to use both formats!  They both have a place in the audiophiles system and home!  

I have both and alot of each.My equipment is good and I do have a few set ups.So I like both.But with the cheap prices on used cds .I now my cds.Mh local library has them for a buck and no tax to.....

Based on "rumours" I did some research - current estimates are that 30-50% of LP buyers do not own a turntable - they are buying LP like some buy books simply to decoratively fill a bookcase or record shelf...

 

However, this is a very misleading statistic.

Those people buying vinyl for decoration, or similar purpose, are usually only buying a fairly low number of LP’s per year. 

Those of us that buy vinyl to listen to, who own turntables, are buying a fairly high number of LP’s per year. 

Even for me, as someone who has vastly curtailed my vinyl purchasing (I still buy tons of CD’s however), still buy dozens of LP’s per year. 

I have a good friend, who I am willing to bet, buys more LP’s in an average weekend, than the vast majority of those buying them just to display, buy in an entire year. 

So, in other words, even if 50% of the vinyl purchasing public are buying them only to display, does not mean they are buying 50% of the LP’s being purchased.

Cool. What is your CD player? 

I cannot imagine a record sounding as good as a SACD on a high end player. Most of these newer SHM CD's are great too. The 24 bit remastered Redbooks also. Gave up vinyl 40 years ago.
