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.

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.

@voodoolounge …”Are both still exactly the same after rejuvenating your ears?”

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.

for DECADES in the vinyl/shellac era, i wished for an END to the SURFACE NOISE that i just couldn't "listen past" like the audiophiles say i ought. i'm not wired like that [ASD]. when digital and digital audio restoration of noisy/damaged analog FINALLY came along, i jumped in with both feet and have not looked back in over 33 years [since CD took over and home puters became able to accomplish digital audio restoration, making LPs sound less like crackly hissy rumbly LPs and more like analog tapes].
