your choice of turntables is crap. also vinyl is for losers that are stuck in the 70s and in their mom's basement.

@pornojack i have a much better turntable. That was just one of many. My mom has been dead for over 20 years. I live with my dad.

Have you tried to compare digitally authored vinyls with analog authored ones?

Just curious what your findings are.

[monumentfloyd]

@wholethinker  I have made a record myself and it was recorded on analog tape then transfered to a CD for mastering then mastered to a record. It creates a hybrid sound of analog and digital. I will say a CD can sound pretty close to a record if the recording medium was tape. Thats the main thing to record on tape.

@monumentfloyd If we take a vinyl and record it on a CD, would be this CD as good as the vinyl? Have you tried it? Or better using Super Audio CD format that has better than audio CD resolution?

My goal is to have vinyls backed up digitally to prevent the accidental damage when playing them on a turntable.

@wholethinker No, it wil. not be as good as the vinyl. Also dont fool yourself with the CDs. They are more destructable than records. In fact you're trading one pretty good medium for a poor one. Take care of your records and clean them and be cautious with the needle and they should last more than one life time.

Records will always sound better and do because it is true real sound direct from the recording studio to the master to the contact that the styli and record connect. Tuly amazing comments. You don't even pause between your words to say 'uum' you speak your experiences and yes even recording records onto tape is still true sound. Records can even play so loud and still have true sound, digital when played loud sound distorted somehow and do skip and cd's will wear out, eventually ? Thanks !

This is the funniest set of comments I've ever read - can't anyone else see this guy is totally taking the piss?

This is where vinyl truly trumps digital music. The rich and nuanced sound quality of analog recording is something that can't be replicated by CD recording or MP3s. Vinyl records have grooves carved into them that mirror the original sound's waveform, which means that no information from the original sound is lost. The science behind it gets even more technical but it basically proves that analog, vinyl recordings are the truest way of listening to music.

@pornojack Vinyls never died bands always took there albums out on vinyl & cd even to this day pop bands, metal bands, hip hop/rap groups, etc etc still put out there albums on vinyl. It will never die its pretty cool seeing kids in the 90's and today buying vinyl.

Awesome video! CD's and mp3s are great for portability, but if you're just sitting at home, why not listen to your music on vinyl since it has better sound quality?
