Packaging, shipping, photography, all of it adds up quick. CDs were meant to be disposable and the lossy compression used clips audio. It's so bad that producers have to employ engineering tricks to avoid the "digital wall" that CD audio creates.

Feb 16, 2012 - The reason why the consumers went for CDs is because sound quality is better and they're more convenient.

Mar 4, 2012 - CD's are not a problem but I have mad respect for Vinyl though. I grew up on Vinyl.

TEACHYOUTEEWHY Says:

Mar 4, 2012 - I only bought CD's to avoid listening to the scratchy Records. But I still got respect for Vinyl though.

Mar 29, 2012 - cd´s sound rather bad and are cheaper to produce but industry sold it to us as better and more expensive. digital for satellites, analog for music.

Mar 30, 2012 - I'd much rather listen to an exact copy of the music, which obviously is an analogue copy, than listen to a bunch of binary digits being played back.

newfuckingwave Says:

Apr 11, 2012 - considering that some turntables cost $300,000 and some cartridges alone cost $15,000, i wouldn't exactly say that rich people don't listen to vinyl (especially considering that you have to be some kind of anal-retentive audiophile to hear a $315,000 dollar difference)

newfuckingwave Says:

Apr 11, 2012 - no. the industry made CDs because the average person is a fucking idiot and assumes that if something is newer it's better. industries live and die by what people want. if you can't create something that will appeal to a broad market you will go out of business. vinyl has only come back big because of all the hipsters who like 'retro' things (and who, might i add, will abandon their records in another 10 years - at which point i will buy them all!)

Apr 22, 2012 - i think either your audio channels are switched, or mine is......AH!!!

aegisofhonor Says:

Apr 26, 2012 - I like the idea of playing Vinyl records but there is one nagging question I always have to ask myself about going vinyl; how much am I willing to spend to get quality audio. The unfortunate fact is, quality record players are expensive both to buy, set up, and maintain. Needles can run over $100, the receivers that have the preamp built in can cost hundreds of dollars by themselves, and high quality turn tables can cost anywhere between $300 on up to over $3000.

Apr 27, 2012 - lmao you can buy a turntable for 100 to 150 today

dwindeyer Says:

Apr 30, 2012 - Shouldn't you be asking what is with the phony music? The needle is still in the lead in groove when the music starts playing

zephrameliasfoster Says:

Apr 30, 2012 - Cd's can play up to about 16 hz and vinyl can play up to 50. It makes a difference. The sound is much richer, and it's not a whole lot more expensive. I love vinyl.

May 7, 2012 - I already got rid of all my cds

rockabillycat1954 Says:

May 8, 2012 - vintage equipment can be had at high quality and low price. check goodwill, flea markets, and antique stores for turntables and receivers. my own audio setup consists of an adc linear tracking turntable from the mid 80's (a quick lube and new cartridge and back in business) along with a yamaha receiver from around the same era, as well as a late 60's panasonic 3 speed reel to reel tape machine. all together, i have less than $50 in my setup and has outstanding sound quality.

aegisofhonor Says:

May 9, 2012 - can't say I have been completely unlucky in that department, both my Pioneer PL-250 turntable and Toshiba receiver were free (pulled out of the recycling bin). Man, reel to reel tape players are rare, finding reel to reel tapes are even more rare (if you mean the big full sized tapes nearly the size of a VHS tape, not "compact cassette"s or 8-tracks, but the kind mater tapes are recorded on). They say music on those are the highest quality you can get, even better then the finest vinyl.

rockabillycat1954 Says:

May 10, 2012 - Sort of the same as a studio recorder except smaller. Mine records 4 tracks (2 tracks per side, just as a cassette does) onto 1/4" tape (same physical size tape as 8 tracks, but half the tracks, higher the speed, many times the fidelity). Studio machines typically range from 1/2" to 2" width tape. And yes, a good reel to reel with a good quality tape will give you great analog sound. found my panasonic at a flea market for 10 bucks.
