I pay for Spotify (which sounds better than your vinyl nonsense) and I'm currently enjoying a TIDAL free trial period, which is also giving me better quality than your vinyl nonsense.

Off you go then.

It's amazing how many people on this forum are so misinformed about technology and how things work. I've always said you can't win an argument with someone who's stupid and this forum proves that time and time again.

Wrong, again and I'm also listening to TIDAL and it's the same quality, better than vinyl.

(Abuse deleted by moderation.) This is what I typed: I really don't care how people listen to their music, but I like to state facts and the fact is, vinyl sounds inferior to CD and newer, higher resolution formats. LPs will stick around for a while, but in 20 years people will want higher...

State of the art music servers and distribution across high bandwidth connections? No, you've missed something crucial, it's the 80 year old vinyl nonsense that's the rubbish format. There are ZERO advantages to vinyl when it comes to the accurate playback of audio.

I really don't care how people listen to their music, but I like to state facts and the fact is, vinyl sounds inferior to CD and newer, higher resolution formats. LPs will stick around for a while, but in 20 years people will want higher quality sound and delivered in a more convenient way...

Vinyl won't sound as good as Spotify, even with older, analog recordings. An LP cannot hold as nuch information as a digital file of any recording, new or old. I also play CDs and they also sound much better than vinyl. I'm hoping Spotify release a new package, which includes lots of clicks and...

I think LPs will survive as long as people are convinced it's a fashionable thing to listen to and eventually they will realise it's not the means to the end they expected. Many new to HIFI will abandon LPs, when they finally realise the new stuff is actually going to give them what they wanted...

CDs offer a more accurate sound, but you prefer the sound of vinyl? I honestly wouldn't trust your opinion on any product designed to recreate the emotion and essence of any recording already available, or anything released in the future. I think the new generation puts convenience before...

I'm really not here to tell people how to enjoy their music and don't see them as inferior beings. It does seem strange people are still listening to vinyl when it is an inferior format and has no advantage over modern things. This thread is all to do with the resurgance of vinyl being a fad and...

We are all contributing to this forum, to discuss HIFI related topics and it's obvious we won't agree on many subjects, but if you enjoy LPs and won't consider any other method of music reproduction, you are 'set in your ways'. I only attempt to offer the possibility that LP lovers have closed...

It's people stuck in the past, who are set in their ways. I readily adopt new and better ways of accessing music and other modern areas of technology. I'm an IT manager for a bank and it's impossible to be set in your ways, because the demands of society and the infrastructure we all depend...

I think the current vinyl revival has been overhyped and the demographic buying LPs is probably well off middle class types, with lots of disposable income who want to appear cool and trendy amongst their well heeled peers. I doubt turntables and LPs are being bought by teenagers and those up to...

Buying direct (with the risks involved) will be cheaper than buying from a UK dealer, because the UK dealer will expect a profit margin. This DAC could cost £5k if it lands on UK sites.
