CD or vinyl

Hi everyone. I am new to this board. I am 15 and I just got into pink floyd around a year ago. I now think they are the best band of all time and own everything they made (or at least what i could find) on cd. I have heard talk that Floyd is much better on vinyl. If some of you Floyd veterans out there could tell me which is better or if they are the same i would appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: CD or vinyl

I have always loved vinyl over CD.
Alas, phonographs are a bit hard to carry onto the subway. That why I record everything on Mini Disc; portability, and enough recording quality to record the warm, fuzzy feeling I get from my vinyl.
But whenever I can, I go for the real thing. The vinyl. If you treat them right, they'll sound great for decades.

As always,
Aquatopia

Re: CD or vinyl

If every release I wanted was in ready supply on vinyl, then that's all I would buy. Seriously.

And yes, the Floyd sounds great on vinyl...

Vinyl is great if you're rich.

Re: CD or vinyl

If by 'all the way' you mean 'should burn in a fire,' then I totally agree with you.

Re: CD or vinyl

Botley is right. If you have LOTS of money to invest on a more-than-good turntable, on a more-than-good needle (which has to be replaced, which is VERY expensive), on a more-than-good amplifier, on more-than-good speakers, then go with vinyl.

Obviously you also have to like the inevitable scratch-pop-fzz noise.

Otherwise, go with CDs.

Re: CD or vinyl

What is really better about vinyl? I'm not trying to say CD is better because I've never really heard vinyl.

Can someone explain to a CD generation dude what is better about vinyl's sound??

Re: CD or vinyl

I do not have any Pink Floyd in vinyl, but I would invest in vinyl if I had both the time and money. Vinyl has a much finer, richer sound than can be replicated on any other media. Until then, I will continue to grow my cd collection for cost purposes, portability, and ability to listen to it on my car stereo.
