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?

I found a,place that has cds 3 for 2 bucks....forget vinyl....I'm in cd heaven...come on.

I remember getting a screaming deal on a K&E bamboo slide rule (it was expensive and the gold standard) a few days after Texas Instruments released the SR-50 calculator. I enjoyed the next few days...  until I found out about the calculator... it’s been in my drawer for over fifty-five years.

Vinyl is final for the best sound staging. that being said I have a killer analog setup with Sota Cosmos Eclipse vacuum table, SME V with Koestsu Jade all running through tube pre and amps. Cd's or the Aurender to me are for back ground music not critical listening. IMHO

 

I agree with regards to vinyl imaging is better than CD or 16/44.1.

But with regards to 24/192 or especially quad DSD, that is not the case, Those higher resolutions  are as good or better, than than vinyl when it comes to imaging and soundstage. 

Sorry guys with the cheap prices on cds,that's my go to Now....come on I got.5 cds for a Dollar...and they were good cds in great condition...5 for a BUCK...Jacqui Naylor her first album jazzy album.The Song of West Side story  different artists singing West side Highway Songs,The Bestcof Tuck and Patti Jazz  ,Sarah MaLachian Aftarglow ,Sunblind Connor Thudtte singer guitarist..Not bad...
