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.

63 and digital, whereas my answer would have been vinyl 5 years ago. Since then the advent of audiophile streamers and better clocks on the DAC have meant big leaps in SQ for digital. In particular streaming is big progress over mechanical disc drives of yore.
Shoot Mahgister, I have to get up and pee every 25 minutes. I might as well turn the record over.
I am all in for digital. I stream from my own 6 TB hard drive. I'm doing it right now. But it still does not have the panache of handling a record. It has no history, no memories of youth and invincibility. It is still wonderful music and sounds great but, as FZ would say, It just smells funny.  
Perhaps i have no nostalgia....I understand when people prefer the analog sound even if my digital sound for me on par...

😊

My best and apology for my intrusion....
That is not quite so true. I am 63 and prefer digital. The soundstage is better, dynamic response is better, no background noise whatsoever, convenience is off the charts.
What is not to like ?
54 and just getting back into analog in the last couple of years. But, what MC said hits the nail on the head. Analog preferred (usually) for “listening”. Digital for discovery and hanging out around the house. I often download something that sounds intriguing before I buy the vinyl. I really don’t need a bunch of one-hit-wonder albums taking up space.
