Some say that Vinyl records are dinosaurs that are preferred by audiophiles and producers of electronica. Why would they prefer vinyl over CD’s? What about MP3’s?

Gramaphone (vinyl) record buffs will tell you about the nuance of sound that you get with records as opposed to digital sound. The audio on vinyl can’t be compressed to extremes like with CD’s. And a sampling rate is used to produce CD’s, but the higest rates can’t embody all of the data that an analog groove can. Thus the nuance. Some say.

You have got to admit that the art on album covers beats a CD. At least the ones that were works of art. None-the-less, you get better pictures of the band or singer anyway.

There are those that say that it is really about analog vs digital. Thus the MP3 is King or Queen or the Big Wheel. What do you think?
