Anyone out there have any strong feelings one way or t'other? I find it an odd one - for listening to anything circa 1970 and before (right back to 20's jazz stuff and anything classical) I do find that vinyl is a lovely way to listen to it - something about the warmth of the sound, the hisses and pops on the record player adding to the music rather than taking something away.. However, listening to relatively modern music on vinyl just isn't right IMO, those same pops and crackles ( and the occasional snap... ) that were oh so endearing when listening to a Little Richard record become a pain in the balls when you put on something that has been digitally recorded and produced.... To me it's the same idea as listening to a radio station with shit reception.... I know a few purists who swear blind that vinyl is the ONLY way to listen to music and to an extent I agree that listening to analog sound has inherent benefits over digital.... but at the end of the day I've spent a shitload of time and money picking out a bass and amp that produce exactly the sound I'm after and while I see the argument that a digital representation of that sound is not the same, I'd say it's far preferable to listening to it in a a scratchy, noisy format... Thoughts? xx
