Conclusions:

- Both songs uploaded with serious distortion.

- Both are digital. Anything played over the internet is digital.

- The record is noisy. So it should not be used for the comparison. No two records sound the same. Use a well made Parlophone pressing.

.

Other:

- Was the record cleaned?

- What is the associated gear? Digital players can vary wildly in sound quality. The same is true for turntables, cartridges, tonearms, and phono stages.

Wait, you're trying to prove that vinyl is superior by making us listen to a vinyl record... recorded by a computer... and then converted to a digital format, uploaded to youtube, and compressed accordingly?

I'm sorry, but your argument is invalid.

Don't get me wrong, i do love my vinyl records, but... this just makes the logic-interpreting portion of my brain hurt. :(

At least compare a mono 45 to an mp3 track that is in mono next time.

I vinyl is in mono, but even so, I like it better.

@6262323 the highs suck with the wrong stylus. for years i used a conical stylus and thought "boy the highs are fucking garbled on vinyl". then i upgraded to an elliptical stylus and a far better cartridge and was blown away by how good the highs actually are. you need a stylus precise enough to read the whole groove - a basic conical won't do that

@billybassman21 who cares? you're missing the point in music! enjoy it and stop being a complete tool!

MP3's even at a high bit rate don't compare to cd's. Compression has killed music quality IMHO and artist today are concerned more with the song being loud than having good clean dynamic range . As for vinyl I like the warm crisp sound of it too, but to say it's superior to digital in all cases is a stretch. It all comes down to the source material and how it was mixed. Taking a mono flat sounding song full of tape hiss and remastering it isn't always a bad thing.

and is it me or is the vinyl the mono mix?

@JandBMan312 the most popular thing is vinyl ;_;

I don't have a record player or any vinyl records, but I wish I had.

And now your comment made me think. Do I really want vinyl? Isn't the music itself the most important?

How can you make a decision based on a shit quality YouTube video?

The mp3 is compressed from the master in stereo with more Volume and is not played in open air.The 45 is uncompressed maybe even mono and it is played in a open room. So this test is not fair and full of sh$t.Most of you people need to see a ear doctor.Vinyl has a warmer bass (makes the hair of the back of your neck go up) and it has a more clear mid-range ( you can feel the Guitar being plucked as if you were there) but the highs suck. Mp3 has good sound over all but has no soul or presence.
