Vinyl for me.

But what I also do is get an MP3 version so I can have my music when out & about.

Vinyl, if I had the choice. The quality is better and far richer. All this digital bollocks... yes it's music, but vinyl can be an experience. If that doesn't sound too wanky. Unfortunately, it's symptomatic of the modern age. Quantity over quality. All your record collection in the palm of your hand. Easy access to all your favourites at the touch of a button. For me this convenience culture can't compete with making the time, sitting down, selecting an LP you have had a hankering to listen to for a few days and really enjoying it. I think digital formats actually devalue music, elevating convenience over audio quality and the listening experience.

there are still many good turntables to buy on the market and i have a famous scottish one that is over 25 years old . they release double vinyl albums because it sounds better if the sides are not too long and not compressed although i have both formats and with streamers nowadays there is options.

vinyl has certain qualities the others don`t have and can sound very good asweell

it's not vinyl vs cd, it is analogue vs digital.

analogue can be extremely good, but then so can digital.

if either one is not, then it is down to cost and production and marketing and reproduction, not anything at all to do with analogue vs digital.

my old quad valve amps gave a lovely, but technically very distorted sound, ditto the thorens in a 25kg slab of granite, but the same money today spent on a quality pure class a mosfet fed by a 24 megabit per second digital stream could utterly blow it away on any technical level you care to name.

Tubular bells on vinyl vs tubular bells on CD from the same label... different story.

in blind testing, at 192 kilobits per second, almost nobody was able to differentiate between a very good analogue vinyl source on very good kit, and a digital source.... at 320 kilobits nobody was.

once you go digital, using a physical medium like a CD is archaic, or a DVD, the sole purpose of the physical medium is ease of retail and limited casual copy protection.

the old one inch ampex tape that everything was mastered on wasn't exactly a perfect medium...

Vinyl for me. It seems to be making a comeback too. I'm about to buy Billy Bragg's new album on heavy weight black vinyl but it also comes with a code to get a free mp3 download, so one for home and one for the car. Sorted.

If I may add a third element, I've switched to digital. Though I like both, one can only store so many discs and vinyl.

I had a huge vinyl collection literally 1000s of old punk and 80's indie, when i moved out of my parents I didnt initially have room for it all. And my father didn't want it cluttering up his 3 bedroom house so it all ended up ruined... My own fault really. the warning signs were there when I once returned from a holiday to discover most of my band tour tee shirts had been given to a charity shop because I had too many...

General day to day music buying it's CD's. But if it's a band I like I'll also buy the vinyl, I still buy lots of old vinyl at record fairs, charity shops and car boots.

I had a massive collection if punk vinyl also. My brother and myself used to go halves on buying anything punk related. Every Saturday afternoon we'd be in small wonder records in walthamstow and the owner would play us anything new and we bought loads. Unfortunately my brother fell on hard times and asked if he could sell it. I couldn't afford to buy it so it was all sold.
