74 and vinyl. I had my affair with CD's when my phono preamp died in 86 and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I bought a CD player and started buying CD's. After several years I found a new phono preamp that I could afford and sounded pretty good. I've been vinyl ever since. CD's are convenient and vinyl is a pain in the ass, but sounds so good. I'm taking advantage of the vinyl "fad" while it lasts to acquire new music. I have and old Revox B77 R2R somewhere in a box and a display of 8-track tapes in my listening room just for decoration and laughs. I also have a box of old 45's somewhere, so I've done them all over the years.
Does Age Matter?
Having read and contributed to several threads on the digital vs analog controversy I developed a nagging itch that suggested it is older people that prefer analog and younger people digital. If this is the case than there is most definitely a nostalgic element to that opinion. Perhaps we can answer that question. I will go first. Please do not ruminate on the differences. Age and preference, digital, analog or both! We'll tally the results at the end.
I am 67 and like Both analog and digital.
