Okay, off topic. The reason why vinyl sounds better than CDs is the fact that, in very simple terms, digital sound, while gives broader dynamic range, sonics, and stereo seperation, the music is broken up in little lines ---------- as apposed to vinyl which is one unbroken groove for an entire side which the needle anolouges to, and gives more warmth and clarity. mp3’s however are a source of pure evil. they take any good point out of digital sound. they are compressed (like Dolby Digital, DTS), not lossless (like cds and other lossless PCM formats like DVD-Audio). and sound way more harsh and tinny. now we have things like SACD’s and DVD-Audio discs which are even less compressed and give you very close to pure anolouge clarity. (not talking about cassetes here). the sound quality reporduced on some sacds and dvd-a’s Ive heard sound like Master quality (which often are since they can be reporduced at the same bit/sampling rate that they recorded in.)
the only argument to be made really is wheather or not you are listining through a good system. (reciever, speakers, ect.) which in the end, decent equipment is much more affordable than most think, you dont have to go crazy spending thousands or hundreds even on shit. you dont need 500 $/ft. speaker wire. but youre not going to be able to hear the difference through a boom-box…
