RE: digital = clarity and duplicable

Comment comment by twabulldogg on 01 February 2008

there is a certain nostalgia u get when listening to vinyl

That is my entire point about the vinyl vs. digital debate. Vnutz provided the technical reasons why digital is far superior, but the only reason vinyl still gets as much attention as it does is nostalgia. It doesn't sound better, happy memories make people believe it is better because it takes you back to when you first heard the song.

I'm glad that the records take people back, but it is not a great argument.

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

As far as great arguments go, that is a pretty poor one...what kind of an elitist view you have to maintain to be so dismissive of any thoughts that you don't agree with. "hold on. this person doesn't agree with me. everything they say must be dumb because my opinion is a true representation of all intellectual, rational people."

I respect your need to have digital music...in my first response, i even granted the fact that its portability is even a big point...it isn't like i totally shun digital music...i have an ipod...i download music...my only point was, given the choice, i would rather listen to vinyl...

but then again, i guess i am just not capable of making solid arguments...
