Does Age Matter?

Mijo, if you want to take an informal poll for your own amusement, fine. But don’t kid yourself that you are going to arrive at some statistical proof of anything. The vinyl sales data show that  purchasers were about evenly distributed among persons in 5 age groups between 17 and 55+. So, for vinyl there is no trend related to age of the buyer. This need not mean anything as regards CD adherents, which is different from “digital “ because so many now stream their music and no longer buy CDs at all.

59, i choose live music, high speed tape, a fantastic ADc to a great DAc, the black disc DtD, then 45 then 33, then maybe my hot rod DAT, then the lowly cassette, unless it’s my Teac portastudio and the band be jamming..

notice I didn’t mention CD player, it is so very rarely bit perfect.....

36 and all analog. Grew up with digital and tried analog about 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. Also not a huge jazz and classical fan which seems to isolate you in the modern hifi scene. If people want high end audio to survive they need to realize that people enjoy more than 2 genres of music, especially in the modern era.

64 and digital all the time.  So much more music, so much quicker, all from the convenience of a smart phone and Qobuz, streamed to my NAD M33 and out to my speakers.  Simple, just speaker cables, power cord and short Ethernet cable, amazing quality and choice.
