I spent most of my life listening to music on 8-tracks,records and casettes.Why in the hell would I ever want to go back to that?
 
CD's rule,I guess most of the people here don't remember a time when the above formats were all we had.I for one will never go back to listening to music on vinyl.

It's a fact that CDs have a larger dynamic range than vinyls. But due to the loudness wars, and "everyone"(at least mainstream artists) wanting to make "hot" records, CDs are too damn loud and compressed compared to the vinyls.

In music, for me at least, it's the passion, skill and emotion that shows through in the performance - which applies equally to classical, jazz and prog.
I couldn't care less whether vinyl, CD or 192kpbs MP3/Ogg/whatever is the medium, as long as the music is honestly presented.
As for the poll - I prefer CDs because they are a bit more robust than (scratchy) vinyls, and I'm just as deaf as Mike. I can tune my guitar to the piano, and my bass to my guitar by just using these two flaps that my glasses use for support.

I have literally thousands of LPs, and much prefer the sleeves which they came in, but sound wise, give me a CD any day.
 
Buy a proper turntable then if you think they sound bad compared to CDLOL

Well I'd like to imagine the remaining percentage is an even 5, but go ahead and create a poll just to be sure.....

Yeah, dogs... so much personality yet they lack the intelligence and or common decency to bury their own poop.

LP's make you just as deaf as CD's, the only true way to listen to sound reproductions is on Edison® phonographic cylinders
