After reading of Kevin Saunderson's conversion, it reminded me that I've had a question about this technology.
I've always heard that one of the appeals of vinyl (for audiophiles in particular) is the frequency response range; especially in the low end. It's what purists have complained is missing in CDs for years. Does any one have a technical perspective on the audio quality of MP3 vs vinyl? I understand that MP3 is a compressed format and am curious if that compression would noticeably affect the sound, especially in a large club-like setting. For my needs, MP3 is fine as I listen to it on computer speakers, or rip it and listen to it in my car stereo...I'm not really concerned about superior audio quality in those settings as I don't have the greatest gear to reproduce it faithfully. But, in these mega-clubs and parties where the gear can be of the highest caliber, do you reckon 160 kbps (as Kevin mentioned) will cut it? I'm not trying to start a debate, I'm simply curious for input from those who might have a deeper understanding. Thanks!
