Hardrock1973 Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Hi, I have the reissues deluxe on itunes but would like to start getting the physical collection. I don't have the best stereo system as of yet. What offers the best audio quality cd or vinyl? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chillumpuffer Posted October 30, 2023 Share Posted October 30, 2023 Vinyl. However, it's a must that you have a great Turntable (Technics) for example. Same can be said for an amp and speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reids Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) … I picked up the reissue cd sets, as they’re digital, can be played in car or standalone cd players, blu ray players, 4K players. I have a Dolby Atmos home theater system (and CDs sound awesome as well). I wish they would do a limited release of the catalog for a Dolby Atmos mix, too. I picked up several new Dolby mixes for Pink Floyd’s, “Dark Side of The Moon”, the new Stones “Hackney Diamonds” release and the new Trevor Rabin “Rio” in limited edition blu ray audio.

reids Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Yes. … with an adapter. They make those, too. (But not a turntable; unless you have a Rolls Royce with really good hydraulics) 😉 R😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archetype Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 If vinyl is impractical in a given situation, my ‘go to’ would be high definition FLACs. CDs are generally 44kHz/16bit while high definition FLACs are generally 96kHz/24bit (some are 192 kHz/24bit or even better). Lots and lots and lots of detail in those extra samples and bit depths. Not quite vinyl quality, but much less hassle. And FLACs are more portable than CDs. And you can edit the metadata on FLACs to tailor, for example, gain/volume levels for each track.
