Vinyl or Compact Disk

Vinyl or Compact Disk which one do you like the most.

I will always prefer Vinyl because its just classic.

Compact disks are just a convenience.

I like to look at the data of them both. 

Vinyl records:

• The analog sound wave is created by a stylus reading the grooves on the record's surface.
• The frequency response range of vinyl records is typically around 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
• The dynamic range of vinyl records is around 70 dB to 80 dB.
• Vinyl records have a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of around 65 dB to 75 dB.
• Vinyl records are susceptible to surface noise, pops, and crackles caused by dust, scratches, and other imperfections.

Compact discs:

• CDs use digital technology to encode music onto a small plastic disc.
• The frequency response range of CDs is typically around 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
• The dynamic range of CDs is around 90 dB to 96 dB.
• CDs have a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of around 96 dB to 100 dB.
• CDs are less susceptible to surface noise and imperfections than vinyl records.

Not to mention Wax spools that were made of a soft wax material that was coated onto a metal or glass cylinder. A recording stylus would cut grooves into the wax as sound waves were captured, and the grooves could be used to reproduce the sound later.

The technical specifications of wax spools varied depending on the specific recording setup, but generally, the frequency response range of wax spools was limited, typically up to around 5 kHz. The dynamic range was also relatively limited, with a signal-to-noise ratio of around 20 dB.

What is the next step? 😉

We passed the the stage i think in terms of music methods that we listen to and i am not going to list them because that would be a waste of time, But there is one thing that's a deviate change in the way we listen to music and that is that many many people love the experience of vinyl records as they are making a rather large return as of recent news vinyl record sales have risen more than listing for more than 30 years.

Now that is saying something. i have yet to buy myself a record player for my separates due to having sold the one i use to own and the reason for that sale was the theft of hundreds of vinyl records being stolen and with that theft the lost of a rather large picture disk collection.

One day in the future i will buy myself a record players and rebuild my record collection.
