Does Age Matter?

ok, 69 years old, bought my first CDs in the early 80’s when I practically gave away my very good analog system because I decided to live on my sailboat. Now I’m headed back to analog because I like the sound. I have some very good digital sources though, mostly for convenience, while I’m working. If I’m doing paperwork or drawings I might spin some vinyl, or cds, if I’m doing programming, it’s all streaming so I don’t have to jump up and swap even cds.

Oh, and my next door neighbor, just a couple years younger, is all digital, mostly streaming. Very high end tube electronics but doesn’t even own a TT...

62, prefer analog (90%+); have a few CD’s that I enjoy too.

65

Digital 

I’m 69.  I’m still involved with pro level audio production and editing.
I like both A and D  My favorite creative advertising work was done with a Harrison audio console and a Studer multi-track.  Fond memories.

What I can do with digital audio editing today was impossible with the multi-track set up.

I put some money into a mid-fi TT and cartridge to listen to and transfer vinyl to digital.  Good investment.  My records never sounded better.  And I have digital transfers that are convenient to listen to.

I’ve recently subscribed to Qobuz.  I’ve never explored more music in my life.

 I wouldn’t trade the albums and reel to reel tapes I have for anything, especially the material that belonged to my dad.

A or D, they co-exist in my universe.  It all comes down to the music.
