Are Vinyl Records Better Than C.D's????

I agree that vynils carry out a better sounding quality than a REGULAR CD. There are different kinds of cd's that were made during it's evolution in the late 80's and through the 90's. there was a high grade quality cd called "CD GOLD" which can really carry a lot of heavy bitrates per second thus producing a sound quality you could ever imagine, YES, better than a vynil but since it's os expensive then to produce, it cost much. so, they sticked it out with the regular cd which could produce a better sounding quality than a vynil and that would serve it's purpose. Now, that we came to the advent of having all music recorded on cd , it came to a mass production of its materials and economics dictated that it's priced be dropped but what goes with it is the recording sound quality from the recording studio to the process of duplicating it.instead of having a 4x speed duplication , they have increased it to as high as 80x faster! so, imagine the loss of some data! that i why most cds today are far less better than it used to be. and as for the recording stars going back to basics, it's a marketing move for them to sell "out from the Box" (in the store shelves) because they are losing ground in the rise of technology, everyone downloads and not buying!To cap my post, i would say it's the Compact Disc.

While I think that sound quality is better on CD there is no question that vinyl is a better for long-term storage. CD's will 'wear-out' even when not in use and they are easily damaged by light but vinyl is not. Just as folk are finding that for some purposes magnetic tape is superior to CD, it is good to see that vinyl is equally being seen as superior in some circumstances.

I personally feel that the quality of sound is far better on CD rather than vinyl BUT I do miss having records mainly due to sentimental and nostalgic reasons LOL....I actually still have some of my LPs at my mums (unless she sold them or got rid of them that is) and my brother has a bunch of his still from back in the day as well (he also has a record player stereo still LOL).....

Vinyl is back?!? Yea! I love records.I still have mine. I never really got into CD's. I have a few because the songs and soundtracks I wanted only came in CD form.I was just playing my ABBA record yesterday and I was thinking that I need to keep my eyes out for turntables just in case my breaks so I can still play my records. I didn't even think of trying to get my ABBA on a CD.

Hi. I think vinyl records are much more reliable, but hard to get these days, in present music, well here in NZ anyway... They are more reliable then that of CD's... My views anyway...

I think vinyl is better because it last longer. That's right, the CDs and DVDs we buy now will lose its quality in some years. A vinyl can last almost forever.

I'm choosing vinyl.because many professionaland experty in computer like to use it!

yeaah! you're welcome!
