This is a question Redundant technology

Music on vinyl records, mobile phones the size of house bricks and pornography printed on paper. What hideously out of date stuff do you still use?

Thanks to boozehound for the suggestion

I don't agree on vinyl (but then I'm a drummer, not a musician, and as a result more than likely a bit deaf).
To me I can't tell any difference between the two - other than crackles - which can't be solved easily by adjusting the graphics. Personally I like shedloads of bass - I'm quite a dubhead - and clear high-end. Simplistic? Maybe. But I really don't see what all the fuss is, and tend to come down more positively on the side of CD/MP3, as they're a lot more difficult to ruin when you're drunk/stoned/tripping your balls off on some quality acid.

I haven't comapred the two
but in my mind it makes sense that vinyl should be a more faithful reproduction of music because of what the OP says. It's an analogue medium, rather than digital, just like sound.

I guess it comes down to what the ear can distinguish though.

I learnt a bit about how music is produced and mastered differently if it is going on vinyl to if it is CD or digital, but unfortunately I have forgotten the important parts...
