Going into vinyls or not ?

Hi everybody,

Currently have a Focal Chorus 800 V 5.1 system + Yamaha RX-A2030 amp, i usually listen to my CDs, SACDs and lossless files with it, but i begin to be interested in vinyls, the idea of collecting my favorite scores and listen to them that way is interesting. But before investing in a Vinyl setup that would be expensive + all the vinyls to buy (past and to come), i would need your opinion. In term of listening experience, comparing to lossless music, are the vinyl worth it ? I read here and there that the analog sound isn’t better "on the paper" but once listened to it is far more dynamic.

Thanks !

There are numerous vinyl releases that haven’t been uploaded yet, I think that alone makes them worth ripping for archiving.

I think Tiesto was looking for a comparison as far as listening to them. [I’m guessing they don’t have that much vinyl, or that they might have stuff that’s already been added here]

I wouldn’t imagine that vinyl would sound better than lossless, unless the Lossless was ripped [or otherwise obtained] from a lower quality source. Vinyl does, however, give a soundtrack a more "vintage" feel, no matter how new or old. I think this is due to the vinyl’s "crackle" when being played. Vinyl does have it’s own characteristics, and I think it’s a personal preference as to whether you enjoy that sound or not.

My opinion: I’m not a huge fan of anything that would take away from my own personal enjoyment of music, so unless vinyl is the only option, I’d go for a clearer sound. I don’t particularly care for the crackle, so I’ll forgo it, if given the option.
