I should have said this in a different way. It was a bit harsh.Many people here LOVE vinyl.(Myself included) They obsess about how incredible vinyl is and continually post how if outperforms digital in everyway.
Many people here act as if digital is completely unlistenable. The laugh and mock digital like many mock Bose. Come on now...Is this really true? Is it that bad? I've found the opposite and am quite surprised.
***but I have feeling it's a bit more "real" than many of the fantasies people have here.*******
I would say this differently with a bit more sensitivity if I was to post again, but I still think it to be true. Many people here are so heavily biased that they are not being real. I love vinyl and am being REAL WITH MYSELF. I want it to win, but FOR ME it is not. If you experience is different, no need to get bent out of shape.
There IS A LOT OF FANTASY here....I'm trying to find the truth. If vinyl is beating digital for you, maybe you can help to do the same. I'm still trying.
Follow Ups:
The vinyl/CD comparison is sometimes nulled by the recording. I have some recordings that are virtually indestinguishable. They tend to be newer rock recordings, but the Norah Jones LP I bought for a friend wasn't distinguishable from the CD on his system. This is rare though in my experience.When my buddy first got back into vinyl, he fixed up his B&O and we did many comparisons. A basic B&O table, basic B&O cartridge, and the phono stage in an Audio Analogue integrated. CD was a Meridian 506. Not many were even close, and the investment in CD player was many times that of the turntable. I myself had the "entry level" DCS 3 piece stack at home for a weekend a few years back. It was the best digital I've ever heard in my life, and by far the best ever in my system. Absolutely incredible, but my turntable/phono stage combo still got the best of it more often than not.
Just my experience, and that of most of the guys I hang out with.

well, what is so bad about that? it is the VINYL asylum."....I'm trying to find the truth." And what would the truth look like? Pick one:
1. digital is better than vinyl
2. vinyl is better than digital
3. both are the same with differencesIn looking at that list it is obvious how ridiculous it is.
"Many people here are so heavily biased that they are not being real. I love vinyl and am being REAL WITH MYSELF. I want it to win, but FOR ME it is not. If you experience is different, no need to get bent out of shape."
There you go again ... claiming that the heavily biased are out of shape.
And your followup post was meant to do what? Clear things up? ;-0 It is merely a reiteration of your first post ... which caused John Elison to lose his grasp on reality.

no hard feelings on my part...the written word is a very poor communications medium..no eye contact,voice inflection or tone..no body language..no facial expressions etc. These all help us understand the senders intent and true meaning.
