I did a little research on what music format people prefer, and here’s my results so far:
| Name: | Age: | Vinyl or CD?: |
| Adrene | 50> | Vinyl |
| Jan | 40> | Vinyl |
| Per | 50> | Vinyl |
| Agneta | 50> | CD |
| Anna | 20> | CD |
| Richard | 20> | CD |
| Kerstin | 50> | CD |
| Chanette | 20> | CD |
| Thomas | 40> | CD |
| Karin | 40> | CD |
I’m quite surprised that CD is so popular, even amongst the older generation, only a handfull of the people i asked knew about sound dynamics and frequency range.
Going analog? That is the question of the day!
I’ve been collecting vinyl records for about a year now, and i can’t help to notice that the sound is slightly fuller than that of a CD or a digital media file, if it’s better is a matter of opinion. One thing i DO know that vinyl is better at, is dynamics, not to mention the “loudness war” (if you don’t know what the loudness war is, then look it up and come back here). I’ve never really got the point to why you should compress the sound and then turn up volume next to +4 db, sure it happens sometimes in vinyl records to (especially on EP:s for some reason) but it still has SOME dynamics.
So, what do think? Leave a comment below!
