You do like your vinyl, don't you?

Honestly, if I wasn't too lazy, I'd have my turntable hooked up. I have some albums on vinyl that I really like. So, nothing against vinyl at all. No "CDs are better" quips from me. Heck, I've even become too lazy to put CDs into a player...

I do Adam but I like CDs too. I straddle both camps. It really depends on the particular recording. For instance, MeatLof Bat Out of Hell is really realy noisy on vinyl and sounds much better on CD.

I find this whole vinyl thing fascninating and am curious to see how far it will go.

You should try and hook up your turntable and give it a spin. You maybe surprised at how different it sounds.

I can always count you to remain neutral. Thanks man!!

Thanks, 3db. I like how you listen to both and then go after the medium that gives you what you're looking for on a particular recording. As for setting up my turntable...hmmm. The turntable is easy to get to, by I think that my records are at the bottom of a stack of boxes. In other words...not going to happen today!

Hey Adam at least you know where your records are! I have moved a few times and cannot find them for anything. I am so used to CD now being a studio engineer that I cannot even remember what my albums sounded like. I also didn't have a good set of speakers back then either. I may have to break out the turntable and do a search for my records....

Be sure to enlist your AH friends: "What I want from each and every one of you is a hard-target search of every gas station, residence, warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse, outhouse and doghouse in that area."

Yes I do think a search posse is going to be needed to find them...

A few years back now, I let go of all my LP's after I had dubbed the more important ones to me on to CD. There have been times since then that I wish I had held onto some of the more meaningful ones. If nothing more than for the art work and the memories of another time. I no longer have a place for a turntable or have one anymore. Sometimes, I wish I still did and at least some of the LP's now gone. But, I do have the recordings from those "records". Therefore, I do have a "record" of days gone by. I think the possible come back of vinyl is a good thing. Some feel that vinyl has a warmer sound than do CD's. Even though I only have CD's now, the good old long play vinyl record does indeed hold some good memories for me. OK, I'm done now.

fox's post got me thinking about something so I went a' Googling. I found a program called iZotope Vinyl that seems like it will simulate the effects of a record player and vinyl record when you play music on your computer. Not quite what I was looking for, but something interesting to me. I'd seen a program (or two) in the past that will simulate the sound characteristics of a tube amp on a computer, so I was wondering if they had the same for vinyl. This program seems like it just simulates record player noise and such.

If anyone tries this, I'd like to know what you think. Thanks.

Adam, back in my radio days (before CD). Vinyl was all there was. That too brings back a time that I recall for the most part fondly. The hiss, pops, scratches and all that. Maybe I sort of long for those days. Right now a CD is playing, perhaps after, I will check out the site you found. Thanks..

Vinyl movement in my home town of Ottawa

For me it's a bit more of nastalgia. It did seem that vinyl had a warmer sound to it, but I only listen to CD's now. And they do sound fine on my audio system.
