Records and CDs


I’ve just spent a couple of weeks exclusively going through my extensive record collection playing hardly any digital media and have come to some conclusions.
Records are fun and enjoyable to work with, but ultimately for a music lover they’re a dead end. Since very few new titles are being released on records these days I find myself going through mainly old familiar performances. Then there’s the age old problem of comparing the SQ of both media which is maddening. I just today went back to streaming (and CDs.). I clearly see, for me this is the way to continue my listening habits. Records can be used as a diversion but not the main event.

If I didn't have vinyl (and a slow reading thermometer) I wouldn't have anything to do.

I reached that conclusion a long time ago.  I reserve analog for recordings that are now digitally or were poorly transferred to digital 

The sonic consistency of digital is a pleasure.  When you listen to a digital source you don’t have to hold your breath wondering if it’s listenable or horrid.
