51 and prefer digital.
Does Age Matter?
Having read and contributed to several threads on the digital vs analog controversy I developed a nagging itch that suggested it is older people that prefer analog and younger people digital. If this is the case than there is most definitely a nostalgic element to that opinion. Perhaps we can answer that question. I will go first. Please do not ruminate on the differences. Age and preference, digital, analog or both! We'll tally the results at the end.
I am 67 and like Both analog and digital.

This thread is winding down so here are the results. There were 52 meaningful responses. Of the 52 75% were over 60 and 25% under 60. Both groups had almost identical distributions 40% preferred digital, 40% analog and 20% both. The analog people were more likely to say they preferred it because of the sound, the digital because of convenience although some felt digital sounded better. Some felt analog was too expensive. Make of this what you will as it is biased in many ways. As an example, what were digital fans doing on an analog thread? What would I have gotten if I posted this as a Digital thread. The were no respondents in their 20's. All respondents were male. Why is that? I know women like music but having a high quality music system is not one of their priorities. I'm proud to say my mother had an NAD based system and worked in a Music/Book store. She also drove a manual Honda. |
Its all men because women are smarter than men. They get us to do all the work of researching, buying, and setting up. Then they just come by and listen whenever they feel like. She's smarter than the man in every way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Y2N-fufYLE |
