Why does all of my music sound better on vinyl?

Posted over 5 years ago
Why is it that everytime I listen to music it sounds so much better when I listen to it on vinyl? For example, I own Lucky by Fifteen on both vinyl and CD and I love the CD but when I listen to it on vinyl it sounds so much better. I can't explain why. It's not the fact that record 1 is on red vinyl and number 2 is on blue, even though it's really cool. It just sounds better for some reason.Same with Jawbreaker's Dear You. It just sounds better. Same speakers and all.Digital is overrated...give me analog.Thoughts?

    vinyl recordings have a broader spectrum of sound that they can reproduce... when cd technology got popular producers learned the shortcut of eliminating excess frequency that did not add anything 'noticable' to the recording, that is why cd's have that crisp amost fake sound to them (unfortunately it is what most record labels aspire to duplicate)... when mp3s came around this became employed further as they would remove extreme highs and lows from most recordings to allow them to occupy less disk-space. i think 'flac' is now the closest digital representation to wax you can get, but records are stil the truth and hopefully will never die.

    kurdt we meet again ... good taste in music
