Please school me as to why Vinyl music is better than.....

I am no expert but I will give it a shot...
The short explanation is that vinyl is a truer representation of the original sound because it is analogue. Digital audio is a conversion from analogue and so is something of an approximation. The more compressed the digital format the more detail and range is lost.
However....there are lots of caveats to that. For one , if you are listening on low end equipment the difference won't be apparent. Also, if the original recording was done using digital tools, moving it to vinyl after that likely won't make a difference either.
As to CDs and DVDs, my understanding is that the sound should be superior to vinyl even though it is digital but some audiophiles insist that something is still lost and vinyl sounds better. Even if that is true, question still is if that difference is due to a technical shortfall or just something about vinyl , maybe even a technical flaw, that appeals to the musical part of an audiophiles brain.Last edited by Islandman; January 14, 2017, 01:09 PM."It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men" - Frederick Douglass -

The problem with Vinyl is it can diminish over time. It have to be properly kept.
I think it has to do with digital technology, As I-man says the older music had a more human feel, new music is mostly digital, beat is constant and harmony etc is split rather than live in most case. I don't think it is really the "vinyl" itself but the music on the vinyl.- Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.

Yeah, and I also think that experience of working with turntables is not the same as dealing with a laptop. Old time selectors miss that.
You know this Macka B tune "Never Played A 45" , he explains it well
