The Hi-Fi Test: Vinyl vs. CD
My post is up at the Chicago Indie Radio Project site.
I took some time this past weekend to compare vinyl and CD versions of “Oh What a World”, from Rufus Wainwright’s 2003 album Want One, and “Hello Earth”, from Kate Bush’s 1985 album The Hounds of Love.
Go read the post!
Interestingly, a previous post (by someone else) provided a link to compare two MP3 files at different levels of quality. I confess I failed the test... the first time, I took it using cheap headphones at work; the second time, I fed my computer into my home stereo to test it. I couldn't tell the different — but I'll say this, both versions sounded tinny and weak to me, especially on my home stereo. It may be related to the way my computer does audio output.
Oh, and speaking of CHIRP web site posts, this one is too funny.
