Sound better is really what you enjoy when listening to music. Your playback equipment will also make a BIG difference!

If you playback a quality recorded LP on a quality turntable and quality cartridge and off course high end amplifier with quality speakers, well the sound will be much more richer, deeper bass, realistic drum sounds to the original recording than if played back on CD with high end equipment also. The CD is much easier to use, no scratch or pops sounds but.......... to me, a vinyl recording sounds better than CD.

What is the difference between 180 gram vinyl and 200 gram vinyl on records?

The main difference between 180 gram vinyl and 200 gram vinyl is the thickness and weight of the vinyl used to press the records. 200 gram vinyl is heavier and thicker than 180 gram vinyl, which can result in potentially better sound quality, durability, and reduced risk of warping. However, the difference in sound quality may be subtle and depends on various factors such as mastering and pressing quality.

Digital recordings do not have the hiss, crackling, or other artifacts of older systems like the vinyl record or cassette tape. Digital recordings do not degrade as quickly as analog recordings. There is still some debate about whether digital recordings sound better than analog vinyl records, however.


Is the sound quality of vinyl records better than digitally mastered CD's?

Well, if a vinyl record is played using a good turntable and cartridge, and if the record is in good condition, it is every bit as good as a CD.___________Without quibbling too much over terminology, it is possible to have a recording on vinyl that has been digitally mastered. But you are asking about a comparison between music pressed onto a vinyl disc and music recorded and played back digitally. Many will say that the sound from a good quality vinyl record has a warmer quality than most digital recordings, but it is very likely that those who say it are from the generation that grew up with vinyl records. I think there is some truth to it. It may seem that vinyl is warmer because good vinyl recordings are so goodthat their slight lack of fidelity is mistaken for an intended effect of softness, much like the appeal of some photographs that are very slightly out of focus. However, I would not like to see a return to vinyl. Vinyl records are too prone to scratches, warps and other things that make them less desirable. Keep in mind that people who grew up with vinyl records didn't typically have high quality digital recordings to compare them to. The best vinyl records at the end of the vinyl era seemed to be as good as it could possibly get. Were we in for a surprise!


Do vinyl albums give a more true sound reproduction than compact discs?

please anser No. Vinyl recordings are called "analogue." Which means it is "analogous" which means it is close to the original, but not exactly the same. So a vinyl recording is very close to the original sound produced by whatever is being recorded, but not quite the same. A digital recording is much, much closer to the original recording. However, many people feel the vinyl analogue recording sounds better. It has a deeper, bass sound than some recordings. And it just sounds different, which some people prefer. So a vinyl recordin is not more true to the original sound, but some people prefer it.

RPM stands for on a vinyl record?

"RPM" is the abbreviation for "rotations per minute." The RPM of a standard 12" vinyl record is approximately 33 1/3 rotations per minute. When vinyl records are made, the grooves are "cut,"or created, at a certain speed. In order to ensure proper and accurate playback of the sound information created in the grooves, the record must be played at the same speed that it was cut at. The RPM of most 7" vinyl singles is 45RPM; sometimes, if a musician wants to be able to fit a longer song on a 7" record, it will be cut (created, remember?) at 33RPM, thus resulting in a longer playing time. This is because it takes longer for the needle to reach the end of the record at this slower speed. As previously stated, the standard RPM for 12" vinyl records is 33 1/3RPM, but occasionally artists will choose to have their 12" records cut at 45RPM. This is more common in 12" vinyl "singles" - 12" records with only 1 or 2 songs per side. However, it is not recommended to cut a 12" record at 45RPM - there are many reasons not to. Sound quality suffers for numerous reasons. (I have one - it sounds terrible) The olllld shellac records made in the early 1900's were cut at 78RPM. Most modern turntables ) don't have the capability to play these records; they also require a different needle than vinyl records. Playing a 33 1/3RPM record at 45RPM will result in a higher pitched sound and a faster playing speed than intended. Playing a 45RPM record at 33 1/3RPM will result in a lower pitched sound and a slower playing speed than intended. Hope that helps. ~bryan
