MP3 is lossy by design but pretty good. FLAC is lossless. Same question by analogy.
Vinyl as a physical medium may be literally warm though, about room temperature. But swinging air waves are pretty much the definition of heat, so...
- the_af 6y agoThe point is that, for a lot of audiophiles, this question: > Is a rare vinyl pressing of a record any nicer to listen to than an mp3 you can download for free? is answered with a very loud "yes!". I thought this was common knowledge here at HN. I've certainly seen this debate multiple times here. You don't have to pick a side or argue technicalities, you just need to be aware that for many people one format is indeed nicer than the other.
