Re: CD vs. Vinyl


If the cd has been mastered properly, then cd without any hesitation. Unfortunately the art of mastering was lost when the peak volume wars started. back in the days when mastering a record was a fine balance between dynamic range/volume and usable time avaliable, it was a fine craft just like impecable woodwork or fine china.

If anyone has listen to a string quartet live and then listened to a studio recorded version you'd hear just how plastic some recording techniques are.

I believe a lot of people mistakenly think Vinyl is better than cd when in fact what they are hearing is a far superior recording/mastering process, not a better recording media.



my 2c anywho.
