Here is a nice podcast to further expand on the discussion. It brings up a lot of great facts about comparing the two sources https://tmraudio.com/blog/the-hifi-podcast-why-does-good-vinyl-have-the-magic/ |
The major difference for me is digital streaming is about new discoveries, massive genre changes, all within one continuous listening session. Like my favorite mix tape all the time. Vinyl is mostly about nostalgia for me, memories of way back listening sessions from my mostly original vinyl collection of 50's, 60's, 70's albums. Vinyl takes me back to an earlier less hectic time, very calming. |

Digital has improved a lot over the years. Early CD releases were usually pure awful, but that is not the case today. And Hi-Rez takes it up another notch. I have a high resolution digital and analog system, around 5000 CD's and maybe 3000 vinyl records. If given a choice, I still prefer vinyl-- despite its imperfections. I also enjoy the covers and other art often included with vinyl releases. These days I no longer buy many CD's, vinyl records are just way more fun IMO. |
