Vinyl: bigger collectors value (old releases), nice album art, pleases multiple senses at once.
CD: convenient to use, better audio quality (vinyl can come near only if you are willing to spend thousands of dollars on equipment), easy to rip or copy, compact (as the name says)
This is pretty much right on, especially the part about spending so much on audio gear to get vinyl’s best sound out of it.
I’m frugal audiophile…okay, I’m a cheapskate. Right now, I’m rocking a cheap SONY CD player, a $45 tripath amp, and a set of Boston Acoustic speakers that I bought nearly brand new from Goodwill for $10. The entire set-up was well under $100, and it sounds way better than the system I put together in my youth, which was more like $1000.
To put together a vinyl system that sounds as good as this cheap crappy system I cobbled together, would cost me thousands.
It’s up to you.
