Actually my dad prefers CD’s. Otherwise he wouldn’t have them as he obviously bought the records first.

And like I’ve said, (what 5 times now?) it’s not that I think vinyl is itself a superior format. It’s the fact that everything made for vinyl is mastered in a superior fashion. If CD’s were mastered better then this would be an entirely different discussion. But I don’t like my music brick-walled.

Cds are almost always mastered louder so that argument means nothing.

But I adjusted the volume of playback so that it matched between sources if that’s what you mean.

Even at the same overall volume, the percussion “kicked” more, the bass was deeper, and the higher frequency instruments had more detail.

For example, on orchestral recordings (I have the entire star WARS trilogy on soundtrack in both vinyl and CD form to compare) on t he record I hear violins, cellos, tubas, trombones, trumpets, flutes, piccolos, etc. On the Cds I just hear strings, brass, and woodwinds. There’s just an extra quality and detail to vinyl that perhaps can’t be explained in technical terms.

True. But my dad has a huge vinyl and CD collection. Lots of titles on both. Haven’t encountered a single instance where the vinyl didn’t blow the CD out of the water. Played on the same receiver and speakers. A good turntable and receiver with good receivers is going to sound better, you can quote as many articles if you want but until you’ve heard vinyl on the proper setup you haven’t heard recorded music.

He already created two socks, so I think his temp ban has been elevated to permanent ban.

Do you have proof those were him?

It’s a possibility.

Well that settles it.
