My Japanese Bob Dylan Blood On The Tracks LP sounded better than the American CD

yip yip, for sure its better. and I`m happy to see, that around 88-90 (in Germany) the music industry digged its own grave with the CD or digital music (see nowadays-ripping music from the net for free etc), twas ttheir own fault. they`d only see a fast profit back then.
Nowadays music is industial fast food (metapher) worth nothing.
What happen to a fast food junkie? gets fat, unhealthy, aggressive and dumb.
So now lot at generation 0-30 of age…fat, unhealthy, without values and dumb.

@canitasteyou321
thats not quiet right.
I`m a studio and live musician. A digital recording is always a bit flatter (make sure you do not use discount tapes for recording). Its not only what you hear but also feel. Digital cuts a lot, but its cheaper to produce/record, you dont have to be a professional and you can rip the sound from the net for free (the musical industriy`s own mistake in end 80s, idiots, now they are bankrupt-nearly-, hahaha)

@ninjabluewings, that’s just hearsay. Google +”gramophone record” +”shortcomings” and do a bit of reading on vinyl’s faults.

Spiral groove recording originated in 1877 and could only be refined to a limited degree over many decades. It may sound “warmer” than CDs but it’s not more accurate and was never a pure analog format (mechanical distortion).

HQ reel-to-reel tape comes much closer to analog purity. Inherently better dynamic range and stereo separation than vinyl.

Today I compared highest quality digital mp3 music to the same music I have a copy of on vinyl. (It was some gabber. electronic music fan here) And holy shit the difference was so great I don’t think I’ll ever look at the digital format file the same way ever again. The sound is just so much more pure and powerful on vinyl, it’s the way music is meant to be played. If you can’t hear and feel the difference, you’re deaf.

@kainthevampireduck

While it never went away completely, a lot of releases were CD/Cassette only thruought the 1990′s and the bigger chains stopped carrying the few vinyl releases that were still available… at least in my area…

@Scotter1971 I was joking ….. sadly over my area too it got harder to find some vinyl records during the 90s :/ specially singles, double set or triple set albums, but hehehe, I never stopped to listen to vinyl, I had to get a couple of albums on cd because I couldn’t find the vinyl release back then, in some cases it took me years of searching, or I could get the vinyl edition just in recent times thanks to the internet.

@ninjabluewings Well, yeah. Digital is inherently lossy. Analogue is not lossy. The only thing is that nowadays even analogue sourced material is transferred digitally. So where does that leave us vinyl lovers? I agree that vinyl is better than CD, but I’m not so sure about vinyl being better than blu ray audio.
