Show me any digital format that has that tubey magic of well recorded vinyl from the 1950’s, whereas they utilized tube equipment and proper microphone placement, ie Rca Living stereo, Mercury living presence, Decca, London, Philips, etc....I’ve yet to hear it. Those engineers are long gone, too bad! I’ll stay with vinyl, and i mean older pressings, not the crap they repress today.. The magic is missing otherwise.
There are cassette tapes that sound better than a cd or a stream. They sound natural with a warm easy going flow to them. Hard to explain, but it is there. The cassettes are of course played on a top of the line Aiwa 3 head cassette deck with dual capstans, beautiful. Lastly, where is the involvement with anything digital? I want to be involved with my music, both listening and preparing to listen or recording. I find it both relaxing and satisfying. People have gotten to the point whereas getting up just to put a CD into a player is a chore! Lmao. Honestly, what would this hobby be without that sort of effort and involvement? Boring, that’s what it would be. Too bad that the younger crowd can’t wrap their mind around what I speak of. Its a shame really, but I guess you don’t miss what you never had.
The well to do have their dedicated posh wood ladden libraries of wall to wall books, despite the existence of a kindle and internet. I’ve got my records/lp’s.
