War of the Audio’s

the part of vinyl that you people say "sounds the best" isnt even a part of the artist's music....you could get the same thing off a michael jackson album, so how is it that they are the true and pure way to listen? that analog "warmth" is nothing more than distortion, i can make an mp3 have cracks and pops(or just that warm distortion) just like vinyl with my pc and the right effects

It's hard to say what direction the "music" industry is going to take. I believe it's a mix of mp3s and cds.

But that is only for the entertainment industry.

Those musicians and artists that view their work as something else than only a way to make money are going to choose other ways (old & new) to distribute their art, I hope.

I sincerely hope that the "art for art's sake, money for god's sake" -thingy isn't true, though.

I dont know what is missing but it is almost indefinable,and yes with a properly set up turntable and quality pressing, vinyl is better.It is warmer and more substantial somehow.Yeah,for about 10 plays then it is a mess of pops and ticks.

CD is convenient and the quality is adequate for the vast majority of ears.

Besides, those of us who have attended concerts since the early 70's cant hear a full spectrum of sound anyway!

 

he means to say they arent heearing all "the music" ....because of their poor media quality some of it is missing, or not as crisp, sample rate lowered, what have you

But Oliver what difference does it make to you how people listen to the music?
The music is the most important thing........

It's always rubbish shelling out money for an album not only in low quality but also with no physical presence.
