What’s wrong with listening to an entire collection once through every 20 years?Nothing is wrong on the contrary you are lucky...
Myself i own near 10,000 diverse formats of music....
I am ashamed to own less than you...... 😁😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?
I well remember in the ‘80s when we were amazed and thrilled by CD.
Wow, no more pops and clicks and all the physical benefits.
Seems so many abandoned vinyl.
But now, with so much convenience, available content and high SQ seems even dedicated vinylholics have again abandoned vinyl and embraced digital. However, there is clearly a new resurgence in analog.
But I look at, for example, whitecamaro’s “List of amplifiers...” thread and no one seems interested in analog!
To me, it seems strange when auditioning “$100Kish gear, that vinyl doesn’t enter the picture or conversation.

@fleschler No time to get to know any album. I am more like @mahgister than you, but not to that extent. I don’t know how many hundreds of times I’ve listened to “Kind of Blue” or”Aja” or dozens of others and noticed new things sometimes, especially if I’ve changed a component or better yet, put in a tweak. to each his own...whatever makes you happy and enjoy the hobby. Like I said, I am 100% vinyl, but I can see the attraction of SACDs for a younger audiophile than me by 10-20 years who grew up with no vinyl coming out and their new music only available on CD. I can even understand those who listen to compressed streams in order to explore lots of new music. I’m very picky and very biased towards albums that came out when I was in college and high school and classic (mostly) jazz I discovered 20 years ago. I will say that in listening to Sirius in my wife’s car, I rediscovered a few people/groups that I knew about but never got into and bought some albums that I like. I play CDs in mine because I hate switching stations. Therefore, I guess nobody can be 100% vinyl since you can’t play a turntable in a car. |
@sokogear That's very nice that you enjoy listening to music and don't obsess about the type of delivery. I don't obsess over having "too many" recordings or how many times I listen to them. I've heard AJA about a dozen times and collect most of Steely Dan (I like rock as well as my aforementioned opera, classical, jazz and ethnic music-I don't like rap or hip-hop or most post 1995 pop music). Apparently, 45 car players were available (especially in Chryslers) https://www.hagerty.com/media/automotive-history/obsolete-car-audio-part-2/ https://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS891US891&sxsrf=ALeKk01J3K-NhZJ4rIe-yHM-MbaOmlMCLA:... Techmoan is a terrific YourTube site with thoroughly investigated electronics of the past (mostly music related) which I find fascinating https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5I2hjZYiW9gZPVkvzM8_Cw |
