There is a constant controversy in the world of music lovers. About a
claim that vinyl records sound better than digital CD. It is known that
the properties attributed to vinyl records by music lovers are considered
by many to be far-fetched. But this is a big mistake. Sound quality really
depends on the recording. But! In order to burn real instrumental music
to CD, it needs to be converted to a digital signal. In other words, a
compact disc or mp3 is just a collection of zeros and ones. This means
that digital audio is split into thousands of samples per second. It
results in a high sampling rate in hertz. The digital audio is then
reassembled into analog audio and fed to an amplifier. And then the
amplifier boosts the sound.
When you are dealing with vinyl records, you are dealing with analogue
media. Because vinyl records have a groove that reflects the waveform
of the original sound. This means that information is not lost. The
signal output from the player is analog, so it goes directly to the
amplifier without conversion. Due to the analog nature of vinyl records,
each turntable and amplifier adds additional unique harmonic wave to
the sound. Due to the features of the pickup, the physics of the vinyl
records, as well as the unique properties of the tube amplifier, the
sound, even at the level of soliton waves, is many times richer than
digital sound. It has been proven in the laboratory that vinyl records
sound waveform is smoother and more accurate. Digital recordings lose
harmonic waves and soliton waves when converted. Thus vinyl records
are indeed a better and more progressive music storage medium than
sterile digital files.
