digital = clarity and duplicable

Comment comment by twabulldogg on 31 January 2008

I can understand why people feel nostalgia for vinyl, but that is the main argument for the its use. The background noise, reduced quality due to use, and the requirement for very high end equipment in order to experience the quality and clarity of digital music are clear disadvantages for vinyl.

I am also a big fan of digital codecs and portability, another advantage of digital.

RE: digital = clarity and duplicable by jandaman :: NR5

here's the thing...vinyl quality doesn't necassarily degrade quality...i would argue, in fact, that vinyl has a better music quality...but it is just like with cd's...if u don't take care of them, they will ruin ur music...so as long as you take care of them, they will be fine...

as for the expense...to some people, it is a worthy investment...some people spend excess money on clothes or shoes or watches or cars...and to other, music is important enough to spend that kind of money....i have music playing during pretty much every waking hour of my day...
