Is Vinyl Worth It


Great cartoon in this week's New Yorker magazine. Has a caption: 'The two things that really drew me to vinyl were the expense and the inconvenience'. Sounds familiar.

If when you switch to digital, get tired of listening, switch back to vinyl and sit there for three hours enjoying yourself. That could be a factor.
Yes it is well worth it. If you have the time to sit and listen, if not do not bother. Today we for some reason do not have or cannot find the time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life anymore.
I consider vinyl as being one of the finer things in life. You can pour a bottle of wine into a glass or you can decanter a fine bottle. Good things in life take time.
Must we sacrifice? If you're a music lover you must have both worlds (analog/digital), because of the music that's simply not available in either world. Would you give up music that you love, because it's inconvenient? Or, because there's not enough air?

If you've got both then you'll discover your preference, and if you're an audiophile you'll work on the sound, and your preference might flip and flip again.

BTW - I find my digital side to be a big pain in the butt, not convenient, and frustrating. It falls within the same pitfalls as computers, cell phones, and the like. I put up with it, because I need the music.

And, right now I prefer my vinyl, because my system is currently stronger on that side.
