Exactly, I think people are fooled because there vacuum tube preamps for
there turntables warm up and they think "Oh man it has lights and it's
hotter than hell, it's alive!"

What is it? Do you like watching something spin? CD's spin but they are
just smaller...maybe it's because vinyl spins slower...maybe its those
pops...If you want the same experience put a cd in a cheap Discman and bump
it and you get discrepancies!!!! How fun!!!

You also have to wear special gloves when handling you records so no body
oil gets on them and you might want to play it in a dustless environment
cause that builds up, whereas CD's have a better record of playing perfect
everytime even if dust is on them.
I mean the only way to settle this arguement is to look at this thing
scientifically. Feed your vinyl into your sound card and record it using
SoundForge and compare your results with a CD...you'll be amazed at the
results...CD's have a better frequency range than vinyl. Also compare your
Mini-discs after recording something...I looked at a tape I made on a Dolby
3 head tape deck and a minidisc and low an behold the tape won out.
Mini-discs have been known to flatten out there wave forms at certain
frequecies like all recorded media, it's just that there is a little lower
than tapes.
Any buyers into this heated debat?
