I'm a vinyl junkie. To me the bass is richer, the tones are warmer, the highs are crisper and the crackling adds an almost-live-organic feel. The definite drawback is the size. My apartment is too small for all my wax. Lately I've had to limit my new vinyl acquisitions to only the stuff I will definitely spin (I don't have pitch control CD players). For listening I usually make my own compilations, put them on DAT, and use my walkman. They're light, hold 2 hours of custom tailored music each and sound better than CDs. If I had all the room I needed for my music I'd try to get it all on vinyl and install a DAT player in my car. I can dream can't I? One practical advantage of vinyl when mixing is that you can visually predict when the record will breakdown, go into some ambience or progress to the next section. I guess with CDs you could just know the timing of the tracks. Disc Jockey. Digital Jockey. Who cares as long as you rip it!
