Vinyl sounds better (shots fired)
I was bored today on a support job so I made a meme. This isn’t a hard or serious conviction of mine, but I am interested in getting reactions 😁
Good points @jsalerno277 although TBH the "ritual" stuff you mention are part of what I LOVE about vinyl, and I suspect the same is true of the majority of analog fans out there. It's not for everybody, but for those of us that enjoy it, it is not a "chore" at all, it's a labor of love. |
On Friday, while moving a piece of furniture that a younger me would have had no trouble with, I tweaked my old back worse than I ever have beforehand. This meant I spent the majority of the weekend flat on my back, with the fewest interruptions possible. After listening to a couple of hours of music via streaming with absolutely zero emotional impact, I shakily got to my feet and started playing vinyl. THERE was the impact I was searching for! I have long wanted streaming (or CDs for that matter) to give me the same satisfaction my relatively meager analog front end does, but it took this little scenario to make me realize I was willing to endure literal pain in my search for emotional connection to music. I spent the rest of the weekend in a state of (approx) 20 minutes at a time euphoria. Luckily my wife was quite the trooper and was willing to be my personal D.J. when she got home. She's a pip! |
