Age 80. Prefer Analog slightly, but listen equally to analog and digital. SACD and DVD-A prefered to CD all else equal (rarely is). And tape preferred to LP.
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.

@gregm then I guess I should put you in the "Both" category? |
I'm now pushing very close to 70 and started my journey into nice home audio some 40 years ago. I still have a large collection of vinyl and keep my eyes open for clean old vinyls at thrift stores and flea markets and occasionally still pick up a new pressing. I also have a large CD collection that, like gregm, I listen to more than the vinyl, mostly out of laziness - even though I still prefer the sound of analog. Except for in the vehicles, I haven't much desire to jump into streaming. At least for me, it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks....Jim |
