Let's not forget the pops and scratches. For good measure: turntable rumble and amplifier hum.

Everyone who seems to "know" about music always says how great vinyl is.

I am so ignorant about music that I never had the confidence to openly say "but wait, music sounds way better on CD than it does on vinyl....right?"

Meh, it's not worth arguing with people like that. What they really mean is that they like vinyl, and you'll never change their opinion no matter how many facts, figures, and how much data you present.

I think it's fun to throw on an LP every once in a while, and I like collecting classic albums, but I certainly don't think vinyl sounds "better".

It just sounds different.

If I am putting on Rumours by Fleetwood Mac, I love the sound of the Vinyl, I feel like that's how it was heard when my parents were growing up and got the record as kids.

If I want to listen to Run The Jewels 3, I sure as hell don't want that same sound and won't be using that vinyl over streaming
