VINYL SUCKS!

It still boils down to preference. Personally, I gave up vinyl 30 years ago and would never go back. To me vinyl is too inconvenient. Even if it does sound better, which is a contentious debate, It has too many negatives for me. I have 4 systems so I would need 4 turntables, I have 3000 Cd's. 3000 Lp's would would take up too much real estate in my home, pops & clicks drive me crazy, inner groove  distortion, Lp's & subwoofers don't place nice with each other. Lp's are too sensitive to floor construction. Lp's need to cleaned all the time. Turntables are a pain to setup properly. Warped records drive me crazy. Even though Lp's have all these negatives to me, I would never it say vinyl sucks because it gives some people great musical pleasure.

Its all about the music no matter the format . The format that makes you enjoy the music most is the one for you

Me ? I can enjoy whatever medium...be it cd , streaming or viniyl . ITS ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC.

I find his reviews borderline unwatchable for some reason.

Actually there are 2 reasons coming to mind:
-He reviews stuff I do not care much about
-He face, speaking voice and presence makes me want to box his ears.

a physicist and record producer/engineer of note named tom dowd, a guy way smarter than me, didn't have many good things to say about phonographic recording and playback. 

Ha! Opinions are just that.
