Sound Quality

...the sound quality SOME people feel is lost in digital recordings? Put the best CD player up against a good turntable and cartridge. Unless someone is deaf, they're going to hear so much more music and emotion through vinyl. CDs are just not high enough resolution for music. And the article failed to mention that Last preservative and a good record cleaner like the VPI keeps records from wearing out too.

Review of "Vox Pop: The Return of Vinyl"

First off, great music choice.. This is a quick and lively vox pop piece on vinyl. I appreciated the variety of answers that were expressed in such a short time. But make sure your levels are constant, and that the music doesn't overpower the narrator, especially at the end. Lastly, nice touch with the "Vinyl, all day!" shout out.
