Does vinyl sound better reddit.
Vinyl is back no doubt about it.
Did the album touch a computer at some point in production.
Yeah i remember that.
Vinyl can still push music to the limits of its dynamic range 55 70db but it often shies away from doing so in order to maintain sound quality.
No but also yes and it is different anyway.
In which case yes it does sound better than low grade mp3s through tinny laptop speakers.

The objective truth is that vinyl does sound better but only if album you re listening to was recorded mixed and mastered on analog gear.
Sales of vinyl records have been soaring although they still represent only a tiny fraction of the music industry s revenues.

Bye bye vinyl then came 10 years of crappy mp3 s.
I actually listen to my vinyl rips more than the actual vinyl i prefer the ease of digital but many digital releases have butchered audio.
Which followed by 10 years of much better mp3 s but now everyone had crappy ear buds and tiny computer speakers.
For 500 u can get a vinyl set up that will sound better than 320 kbps mp3 thru a 500 system with dac.
Similarly if you are investing in vinyl you are probably investing in good speakers amps etc.
