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.

The good thing about vinyl is some albums had subliminal messages in them that you could only hear if you spun the record backwards. To my knowledge, you can’t do this with digital. So it’s good to have both. That kinda stuff impresses your friends, especially those today in our digital era who never saw turntables.

Ever vinyl record I ever heard had surface noise, pops and crackles, just one and I'm done, straight back to digital.

I can't trick my ears into enjoying digital as much as analog, it's as simple as that.

I find the same is true with CD’s. It’s just not as convenient to be impatient and jump around. Listening to an album or CD encourages a deeper appreciation of the musicians, writing, style, skill of the performance. I put on a Junko Onishi CD last night (Crusin’) and was blown away once again by her musicality, finesse and amazing talent as a pianist. Had I been streaming I may have not taken the time to listen beyond one or two cuts. Time very well spent.
