manby people prefer mp3 or cds or other such gadgets to bet a 'clearer' sound when listening to music... but i still prefer cassettes and vinyl, they sound more authentic. if i had a good song on cd that i wanted to listen to outside, i would rather record it to cassette and use a walkman that use a discman. your thoughts? |
||||||||
|

|||||||||

|
|
vinyl -> yeah but cassette??? hell no! |
||||||||
|

I still have a big collection of tapes,..oldschool recordings of Hip Hop music (from radio shows and old Yo! shows) Although the quality has gone worse through time,.I still listen to them a lot. Pure nostalgia,...nothing beats hiss & crackle noises underneath instrumental breaks and accapella freestyles |
||||||||

|
|
well, vinyl is still better than Cd when it comes to sound quality... and if you prefer cassettes, help yourself. I stopped using them as they decay with time (faster than CD's at least) but still have over 1000 at home... |

vinyl has a better frequence and noise reduction IMO, the sound is bigger, fatter and clearer.. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
exactly. |

Vinyl is the coinosseurs choice. Its nicer to play as well; the feel of it on your fingers, it spinning round the deck. CDs are too clinical though come in useful when walking etc and when you want to sleep to music. |
||||||||

i prefer cassettes. some music is better siuted to different formats...but yet they decay faster, but are so easily replaced |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true, but some things you can't replace and, besides, making copies results in sound getting worse. That's why CD-R burners really came as a blessing to me... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
actually I recorded some of my old Amiga songs from tape to cd-r. Just to make sure |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Me to, I'm doing a lot of tape to CD-r and vinyl to CD-r transfers just to be on the safe side and for more convenience... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Vinyl gives full true real sound, CD is flat and lifeless. But CD-R is so cheap for copying, and you try moving house once a year with a thousand vinyl albums, nightmare! |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I agree. |

I'm moving back home in two months and will have to enlist the help of my grandfather to build a storage unit for my vinyl (I can't even wire a plug). Its all I buy now really. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm a hugh unit covering a whole wall with one of those ladders on wheels that slides all the way along would be cool. With the ladder computer controlled to take you to the right album in response to voice requests for particular tracks! Can your Grandad do that?! |
||||||||

lucky you toi have a functioning turntable. Mine is slowly going to hell... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
Ha, ha. I can only ask can't I? I wish to die after having collected a comprehensive library of music. And when I die I want it cremated with me. |

I am a fan of vinyl. The trouble is it takes up so much room and ways soooo much. I have moved house three times in the last 6 months, and I don't want to do it again soon. The troubel is (dare I say the old cliché "it has a warmer sound") it IS a more faithful sound. Which after all is what HiFi is all about. |

Vinyl is very good, especially for low-frequency reproduction. Again, it's the age-old debate of listening to the actual analog waveform versus listening to a sharper, but sampled, digital waveform. Analog audio cassetes are horrible though...linear format, as with any magnetic-based media they degrade after a few years time, and the sound has so much hiss it's a pain to listen to. |

Vinyl is beautiful. CDs are plasticy, ugly, cold and clinical and they look shit on your shelves. Vinyl makes your room look great. I get waves of delight when thumbing through records. Ooooo. |

Any you folks heard of 'super audio cd'....I read about it in an audio mag a few months back.....their claim was that there would be a denser amount of data that could be recorded on a cd, and you would have that full vinyl sound.....I don't know if it's true or not... |
||||||||
|

i really love vinyl myself. i've especially noticed that the sound is more...warm and deep. vinyl has also got a greater frequency range than for instance cd's. and just the big packaging makes you know that this is the "real thing". there's NOTHING like a fresh, clean vinylrecord. i use a minidisc player when i'm out though. i hate those old cassettes, and i can't walk around with a discman. i'm staying analogue in these digital times. |

there is a new technology about to come out called blueray. it is basically a blue laser instead of a red one. The end result is much more condensed staorage in the same space as an old cd. However the fact remains that sound is analogue and it will be digital. For the money CDs offer much better value but once you have invested in some quality kit vinyl comes into its own. |

I prefer CDs over vinyl, vinyl sounds crappy to me. I don't like crackling/hissing/rumbling/distortion sounds being added to the recording. Vinyl also produces extra compression which convinces many people that it is 'warmer'. The frequencyspectrum of CDs is also higher, they degrade less quickly and they're more portable and (up untill now) much easier/faster to backup. |
||||||||

Yeah, smeagle, I believe SACD is being developed by Sony. It's supposed to offer up to 6 channels of discrete audio, at very high bit rate. It's actually competeing with 5.1 DVD audio. |
||||||||

Vinyl doesn't sound better than CD to my ears, just different, sometimes in a pleasing way. But it's not worth the trouble. I wouldn't touch vinyl with a 10 foot bargepole nowadays, I sometimes dust off what I still have to look at the artwork and liner notes, but everything has been long burned to cdr. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I definitely prefer MP3, because of convenience... I spend so much time on the CPU, and it's so easy to just click on Winamp and make a playlist or something... the sound is fine, inferior but it's barely noticeable. My CD collection is so full of dust, eek... |

I just read about some bug in win-amp,.....visit : http://www.lomechanik.net/ for the full story |

i don't mind vinyl or tape, but i prefer to hear it as it sounded when the artist created it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
vinyl is great but it is really hard to just walk around listening to vinyls (it is doable) ive got 2 stick with cd's |
||||||||
|

|

Who uses the minibrowser anyway? If you do you get what you deserve. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe. yeah the minibrowser is such a pointless waste of code. |
||||||||
|

I've never been into Vinyls... when I started buying music cds were the thing, so I got into cds... and they are more convientient, and have excellent sound... plus, you still have cool artwork and all that good stuff... Vinyl just isn't for me, because I need portable music... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am all about vinyl. I have over 12,000 mp3s, but i burn these and use them for travel. But vinyl is the only way to go. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah...im constantly going back and forth between two houses...and spend most of my days in school...so i cant be lugging records around all week...especially since i only have a turntable at one of the houses... so...since most of my music is on cd...i hardly listen to the vinyl i do have |
