One of the great things about Vinyl


Is I find myself listening to recordings all the way through.

Rarely do that with CD's and/or streaming.

I have a vinyl and a digital system, and I spend most time listening to vinyl records. Vinyl sounds more organic and engaging to my retired ears. I love digital for streaming Qobuz and discovering new music. It seems to me, to equal the enjoyment I get from vinyl records, I'd have to spend much more on the front end.

One of my all times favorite jazz band is The Necks.

All of the albums they've released on CDs only and there's a very vast reason for that, because each album has only ONE track around an hour long give-take. Obviously you can stop listening to that at any time with your remote, but for some reason I couldn't and listened from the very beginning to the very end non-stop.

They sound exactly the same. Before and after the procedure.

FYI, the wax issue began and ended in about a month. 

Listening to an entire album all the way through used to be essential to get a feel for what bands tried to convey. At least a whole side. I still do it with newer music even so they may be more song to song oriented. One thing I won't do is listen to bands who's songs are all 3 minutes or under, meaning nothing but radio time frame listening offers. Screw that. Give me much longer songs and I know right away it might be of some artistic value.
