Personally,
while I grew up with and love vinyl, I could give a shit about whether
or not a song is delivered via vinyl or mp3 UNLESS it's a Ramones or
Phil Spector song - to me, the Wall of Sound was made for vinyl, and
the rest is just jerkoffs trying to make sure you know they're better music fans than you. Believe me,
unless the Wall of Sound is involved, you're not missing anything on
your earbuds. - XMASTIME
Matt Yglesias, in the still-oddly confusing to look at Ezra Klein website Vox,
agrees:
Each format has its charms, and their overall differences in quality are
often overwhelmed by differences in the quality of initial recording
equipment, in mastering approaches, and in playback setup. But if you're
a vinyl collector, you also shouldn't go around telling your friends
how much purer your audio is. First off, that's generally dickish
behavior, but more to the point it's false. Digital recording just is
more accurate. That's not the only thing worth considering by any means,
but it does make the puritanism of some vinyl true believers look
rather ridiculous.
And of course there's the Michael Jordan of music snob record store dickheads, Jack Black!
