I dont want to go back to dusty, scratchy, snap crackle pop LP's thanks
Ive got some remastered CD's (like the Beatles & Yes) and I can hear things I never heard on my old vinyl.
Like George Harrisons 'Long Long Long' finally I can hear it with no crackles
Some of the early (1980's) CD's were rush jobs and were pretty crappy quality though
Vinyl is far superior for the following reason: when you listen to music, you are listening to a couple of speaker cones vibrating, which in turn vibrates your ears. With a vinyl record, the sound from the master recording is transferred to a cutting tool that reacts to vibrations from the source. Vinyl records are then made from the master and the grooves on the record vibrate the needle, which then gets amplified and drives a speaker. From the master recording, it is an analogue signal all the way through.
With a CD, the master recording is converted into a code made of '1's and '0's and put onto a disk. The CD player converts this digital signal back to an analogue output that drives the speakers. There will always be a loss in quality when the signal goes from analogue-digital-analogue.

Lossless is a different method of compressing data, that allows the original data to be reconstructed accurately. It is better than MP3 but it is still a digital signal so it is still inferior to good quality vinyl.
Tut tut, Illegal downloads are so 2010. Plenty of free legal sites as long as you've got good anti-annoying-ad technology.mancityvstoke said:SteWadda said:No one buys CDs anymore never mind vinyl

Vinyl is brilliant though, Dad passed me on his collection about 8 years ago, over 3500 records from 60s-90s and I've added to it myself, turning one of the rooms in the house into a natural acoustic chamber as well, it's going to be brilliant (hopefully!)

Do you know what. I didn't know that.
Any links?
