>>i think baby diddy was joking when he brought this up<< That's right, I threw it in because like the various ways of cleaning records, vinyl vs CD generated a heated argument which never produced a definitive answer. I myself use a mixed batch, but prefer vinyl! I believe the conclusion that could be drawn from the debate was that (1) vinyl captures a broader frequency range than CD so in theory is better... but (2) at the shallow end of the hi fi market a CD player will capture/produce better quality than a record player. There's also the more practical points such as (3) vinyl requires more care (both to record and sleeves) (4) you have to shell out for a new stylus at least once a year (though there was a laser cartridge at one time that read the groove with a laser beam!) (5) CDs are convenient, you can use with a remote control, program, needn't flip over, more music per disc etc. (6) longevity of format - CDs may eventually become replaced by more advanced digital formats, ie. minidisc, DVD etc. (7) For singles, vinyl is more expensive; for albums vinyl is cheaper - however sometimes a format will have extra/different tracks. And say children what does it all mean? These cuts are really fresh.
