There's a Riot Going On...

...and it's in my ears. You haven't heard Sly and the Family Stone's, There's a Riot Going On until you hear it on vinyl. My tube amplifier has both an analog and component input, so I can easily compare vinyl to my iPhone. I rip all of my music at 320 kbps, so I have a pretty high quality version of the album on my phone. Listening side-by-side through the same amp, though, the vinyl absolutely blows the digital version away. So warm and so much THICK bass. You can feel it right in your chest. To most vinyl-addicts, this is pretty obvious, but I just absolutely love it.

Here's a stripped-down version of probably the most well known song from this album, Family Affair.
