I prefer Digital, not only for the reasons you stated but another advantage is that there are loads of different formats out there besides "MP3" there is WMA ( microsofts contribution), OGG Vorbis and ATEC ( Sony's Contribution). In addition you can "rip" CD's in different qualities. If you wan't small file size to save space, you rip in a lower qualtiy (128 bit). If quality is your concern then you rip at 320 bitrate, that's CD quality. So based on your preference you can have Very good sound from a MP3.

Wow, I can't believe you sold the RS's... they're great headphones. What kind of Sennheisers have you got?Withdrawnmist said:
The AT's are really good headphones, but they actually get WORSE with amplification believe it or not... I have a headphone amp already and yeah the Grado's go nuts with it

I'll take Black Sabbath on vinyl, versus the "remastered" CDs. Or really anything for that matter.
But for ease of portability, mp3s. I currently have 6 days, 21 hours, and 15 minutes worth of mp3s, a total of 10.31 GBs, which is only a third of my mp3 players total memory.

I see CDs like that, only some of them work. I got a free copy of Nickelback's Silver Side Up by finding a copy that had been tossed.Lies... I see them still

LOL !!!..ewe have to take into consideration where ewe live ..NZ !!..LOL
*sheepy winks a cheeky wink*
I love mp3.'s . I guess I am the person here who has probably seen the most change in my life time.
In Africa, we had a record player that played the old bakelite (I think that's what they were made out of) 78's; we used pine needles to replace bad needles..because there we so few in stock where we were-they worked fine.
I still have the old "solid disk" collection in the attic, along with Vinyls, cassettes,
mini disk.
I really would like to transfer the really good stuff (which I can't even buy anymore) onto my computer hard drive, but there aren't enough hours in the day.........:help:

ChrisP said:I hear the 590s are GREAT! Did you consider the 600s? I've never had a go with the B-D 331s though. Open or closed?
I hear you bout the Grado's but I have massive ears so they sit just fine
Oh....I had a pair of 600 and 650's too !!..LOL...bear in mind..I just nicked them from my own stores and brought them home to play with...so don't hate me too much !!
The 590s are really great too of course...little more bass than the 600/650s but then ewe lose a tad bit of detail...
The beyers...well..to be honest..they are an old discontinued pair...have never really listend them for long..they are open...shame you don't live next door ...ewe could have them !....I'm fed up of Ebaying !!..LOL

Vinyl, for SURE! I love the grittyness of it. There's nothing better.
Although, I WILL say that I'm a fan of 8-tracks, Chrispy I've got a huge collection, hehe

Cheers for that PM reply btw. I'm thinking more of a record store than hardware, but headphones and amps would probably be for sale too

Being a fan of electronic music, I have to go with vinyl.

I had a lot of vinyl in my time -- both 33's and 45's (I used to work at a couple of radio stations). There is no question as to which source is superior. Finally, with digital, we have recordings where we never have to worry about the degradation of the source. But I absolutely HATE the packaging...can't ever seem to get the damn things open!
Records are nostalgic, but they're a pain to store, and a pain to use. Remember the old Discwasher systems, and how we used to have to calibrate our turntables for tracking ability, as well as cantilever weight? What a *****! Now, we just stick the disc in and hit play. No drop-the-needle, no rewinding. Life's great!
