is there any one out there like me that still thinks that vinyl is the best format for your music.

The sound on a 12in single is quite cool

From my point of view, vinyl is a mixed bag. But, yes, at its best, I would tend to agree that it is indeed the best format for music. The trouble is, it isn't always at its best.

The way I see it, the CD brought (fairly) good quality sound into most people's houses, vinyl brought (and still brings) *better* quality sound into *some* people's houses (and none-too-impressive sound into *many* people's houses).

Oh, by the way, DVD-Audio is quite good.

HI
I have lots of rare vinyl as a investment for my daughter when the reaper comes for me.Would like to listen to some of it,whats the best way of transfer to disc?

best bet is to get or lend some decks & a mixer & connect the mixer to you pc's sound card & then rip em. dont bother with those USB decks their shit.

Or if you don't want to record to computer, you could buy a CD recorder (like a CD player but also records unto CDs) and make CDs; you can obviously rip the CDs to computers and/or convert them to MP3s etc.

a half decent CD recorder costs the earth, so unless he has money to burn i wouldnt bother. Hi-Fi turntables use crappy needles & will scratch your records, so unless you dont care about your vinyl dont use one. my mate paid £300 for a CD recorder & he can only use certain CDr's which cost £10 each, honestly dont bother mate.
