I totally agree @noromance, but still do wonder if it has a little to do with, this is what I grew up with and my memories support. That, can't teach an old dog new tricks thing. Enjoy

@elizabeth, absolutely feel you and at some point, getting up there in age, probably will follow suit. Still wonder if my attraction is one of comfort and memory because I have heard and actually own two different digital setups that are outstanding. Thanks |
@big_greg, you hit on a point in your pesponse I wanted to add to and that is the playing of the whole album not just a song. I always play both or all four sides of an album and have found my self disappointed when they change and or shorten a CD version to accommodate the format. |
@wsrrsw, all great points and the question of age of the average vinylphile is something that I am sure would be of interest and also sure as the age goes up so does the chances of the love of vinyl increasing.

- @has2be , @astewart8944, great points, all of them. In my particular situation I am using 800 albums purchased by me thru the 60s,70s & 80s and I have been able to quench my cravings for new music with purchasing only new albums to which I have added another 1,000 albums after culling, so the shape of my collection is as close to pristine as humanely possible. Tried the used market and got very discouraged quickly abandoning it for CDs instead.

@toicat, I too had the paper route and cut grass to fuel my passions, of which I had a few. Looked at that Pioneer 737 but wound up with the Sony STR7045 which was very close in power @ 30 watts and was $30.00 cheaper but loved the life I lived. @skyscraper, thanks for the laff, now get off my grass. Enjoy the music |
@richmon, amen on the lights out closer to music comment. |
@uberwaltz, thanks for that and other things as well.

I am going to address this streaming aspect of music into my life, the availability is just to overwhelming and I really can't ignore it any more. My new music influx has been a couple of XM radio channels, Little Stevies Underground Garage & Tom Pettys Buried Treasure, as well as keeping up with my favorite artist and buying their stuff on vinyl as it is released. I am an old dog with old ways so I will incorporate my nephew who shares my love of music, plays in a few bands for fun on piano and has his master's in computer science to set me up with something to get me going on my headphone system upstairs as well as to go back and research the past discussions here.

@mach12, What does Budda have to do with setting up my system? |
@stevemillerhome, all I needed to do was read your first sentence. You know in all my years when I listen to music have I ever sat down and read the data to decide what I like. Enjoy the music and or your data. |
@mach12, I did learn myself and am enlightened. Can I get an amen?
|
@mrearl, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel about Rhino Records. Your handle reminds me of a Ry Cooder song. Enjoy the music.
|
@lelleturbo, so a funnel gramophone and wax rolls gets you closer to reality? Wow what insight, maybe you can do that while you play your geetar and make your fruit bowls. Enjoy the music
|
@lelleturbo, don't take my retort too seriously, I was just yanking your chain and actually enjoyed your sense of humor. Thanks for posting.

@maverick11359, I didn't get that you were joking till you said the phrase "digital perfection", you had me going there. |
