[Dave Ricketzz]

A 45 RPM 12" single is hard to beat.

I 
have 
grown 
up 
with 
both 
vinyl 
and 
CD 
(I 
am 
in 
my 
30s).  
The 
crackles 
and 
the 
constant 
noise 
irritate 
me, 
especially 
since 
I 
do 
not 
have 
that 
nostalgic 
emotional 
connection 
that 
_can_ 
cloud 
ones 
subjective 
judgement.

A 
proper 
24/96 
digital 
recording 
can 
capture 
the 
same 
frequency 
range 
as 
vinyl 
(well, 
it 
exceeds 
a 
human's 
ability 
to 
tell 
the 
difference, 
there 
are 
limits 
to 
what 
we 
can 
hear) 
and 
therefore 
be 
indistinguishable 
from 
vinyl, 
except 
of 
course 
for 
the 
artifacts 
created 
by 
the 
mechanical 
reproduction.

Having 
said 
that, 
I 
know 
a 
lot 
of 
people 
who 
experience 
vinyl 
differently 
than 
I.  
They 
truly 
believe 
that 
vinyl 
sounds 
better.  
Neither 
experience 
is 
necessarily 
right 
or 
wrong, 
just 
different.

Honestly, 
this 
argument 
is 
just 
like 
the 
vi(m) 
emacs 
wars, 
the 
Mac 
vs 
everyone 
else, 
and 
so 
on.  
It 
reduces 
to 
personal 
preference, 
period.
