I am going to address this streaming aspect of music into my life, the availability is just to overwhelming and I really can't ignore it any more. My new music influx has been a couple of XM radio channels, Little Stevies Underground Garage & Tom Pettys Buried Treasure, as well as keeping up with my favorite artist and buying their stuff on vinyl as it is released. I am an old dog with old ways so I will incorporate my nephew who shares my love of music, plays in a few bands for fun on piano and has his master's in computer science to set me up with something to get me going on my headphone system upstairs as well as to go back and research the past discussions here.
Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl
I just responded to the thread on how many sources do you have ( shotgunning tonight) and got me wondering why I love vinyl so much? Have a very good digital side on both my main system and my headphone system as well that was set up for Redbook playback (headphone system) only utilising my vast 1,000 CD collection, enjoyed it for about a year, added a turntable and haven't used it since. My love of vinyl has been with me for 55 years, buying and playing, setting up my tables , matching preamps and enjoying the fruit of my labor. I believe my love of vinyl is a simple one, it stemmed from the hands on, need to tinker and adjust that I was born with, it's a very physical attraction that I just can not resist, it satisfies a lot of needs for me and in some way is that mistress that I maintain. My turntable is massive and so easy to look at, I can touch it and get more out of it, I can read about the artist and get info while I listen to an album, I can swap out a cartridge and change the tone and in the day the album covers served as a rolling tray to roll a joint. I love vinyl, but absolutely understand while others don't. I also envy people like uberwaltz that have and use so many sources, wish I could. What say you?
