twu Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Good to see vinyl sales have gone up 6 years straight. CD sales are down. http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity/2012/01/in-what-format-did-you-buy-your-last-music-album.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornfedksboy Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I just bought three albums off of itunes... I'm using Apple TV and a DAC for my 2-channel music now, and itunes is certainly the most convenient way to purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schu Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 the last 25 purchases have been Vinyl. I'm buying nothing else going forward unless I can not get it on LP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryC Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I last bought an LP of Satch playing St. James Infirmary that I heard at Garymd's, and a classical DVD before that (I don't recall which one). The synergism of Gary's setup really stands out in the Satch recording. http://www.amazon.com/Satchmo-Plays-Oliver-200gram-Vinyl/dp/B00005BI2N/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1326326278&sr=8-4 I played selections from two spectacular DVD's for very musically knowledgeable friends over the weekend, from Berlioz's Requiem and Les Troyens: http://www.amazon.com/Berlioz-Requiem-Bavarian-Symphony-Orchestra/dp/B0000687E1/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1326326702&sr=1-4 And: http://www.amazon.com/Berlioz-Troyens-remastered-Jessye-Norman/dp/B000OONQ1M/ref=sr_1_2?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1326326870&sr=1-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my purchases have been LPs this year. I typically sample the music either through Spotify or the local library and if I really like it, then I buy the LP first and then CD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Islander Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I buy new or used CDs and used LPs. And the occasional DVD, especially when they're included with a CD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnatnoop Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 CD. Rip to hard drive but still want the physical media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris A Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 You know, now that I've got things in pretty good shape, I'm finding that I'm buying CDs new and old - even as old as the early 80s. The recordings and imaging on some of these old CDs are really outstanding - and on others, well... I've been converting my old vinyl to CDs - wow...big step upward, IMHO. No pops, ticks, rumble, or "hiss", no skipping grooves. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KCMEA Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Wav files.. Moving to the new age but I haven't actually heard the differences between a good vinyl LP and CD's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artarama Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 All "albums" were in vinyl, but I have to admit the most recent purchases have been singles from itunes and the "upgrades" of bit rate and DMR free versions to a few of my older purchases. I don't have an external DAC but I must say the quality of the sound coming from itunes has improved quite a bit I would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
