The advantage of LP is that the sound is completely analogue, and therefore warmer and richer in dynamics - but your HiFi needs to be really good, and your ears desparately finicky (ie, you listen to loads of PROG, Jazz or Classical music) before you can really appreciate the difference.

Also, with vinyl, the sound quality is extremely variable, depending on the pressing - because of the manufacturing process. The earlier the pressing, the more faithful the sound is to the original master tapes - because of wear on Stampers and Mothers.

Now I know why people want first pressings. I thought it was just a collector's item time thing, like a first edition book. Your DSOTM must sound amazing.

There's a whole debate on this:

The advantage of CD is that it's really hard to scratch one, and the music loses sound quality far more gradually and less noticeably than vinyl.

The advantage of LP is that the sound is completely analogue, and therefore warmer and richer in dynamics - but your HiFi needs to be really good, and your ears desparately finicky (ie, you listen to loads of PROG, Jazz or Classical music) before you can really appreciate the difference.

Personally, I love vinyl LPs - the big artwork and the rich sound, and hardly ever notice the static pops. I also try to collect first pressings... but that's an expensive game.

I have a First Pressing of D.S.O.T.M. and it's my preciousssss...

Them laser players would probably work. Expensive as hell, though.

Here's a recent list:

73 assorted prog and fusion vinyl...that is not counting psychedelic or
hardrock, stricly speaking.

64 of my 109 vinyls and about 50% of my 200 or so cds are progressive.

About 50 vinyls (all vintage prog, mainly Genesis, Yes, PF, EL&P, KC, PFM) and 400 CD's (50 % prog).

Also 60/70 K7 and 14 GB of mp3.

All is organized in Excel sheets.

dELETE YOUR MP3 AND KEEP PRECIOUSLY YOUR vYNILS AND K7

(I was born in 1975, and in the first few years of my musical experience I aquired about 100 vinyl albums. Not many of them were prog, but there were some Pink Floyd among them. Unfortunately they were all destroyed by a water pipe leakage in the cellar ... . Since that day, I collect CDs only.)

OUCH!!!

About 20 prog and 20 non prog vinyls. Genesis were the main cause to buy records. I still remember buying A Trick Of The Tail, the yellow masterpiece, and enjoying al that wonderful artwork. The sleeve, the inner sleeve, the way the lyrics were printed.

I got a cd player in 1986, so most of my albums are cd's.
