Don't like vinyl

aewarren:  Well said!  Even when the plan is to have some background music, I am drawn to "the chair" if the TT is spinning a record.  I have pondered this often and can come up with no reasonable explanation.

Dolly Parton with a flat chest.

Leave fake tits out of this.
Never been a fan of Ms. Parton.  We drove right past Dollywood be many times.

Just have Dolly read a story to your grandkid.
Check out her Imagination Library.

You are actually are making a convoluted case for the superiority of DSD. An $800 recorder can make an indistinguishable copy of vinyl playback including its compression and added noise.
If you prefer the ritual of dropping a needle and the knowledge that you are wearing down the recording AND playback rig with each play, enjoy it while it lasts.

You want some free 78s?

Do not be so perfectionists ...... at the end of the day the music is what counts .... like a life .. !! No matter how you live it ..!!

Do not like vinyl do streaming and pretend it sounds better.Vinyl will always be king if you have a state of the art turntable (I have one).

I don't like vinyl because the clicks and plops almost give me a nervous breakdown. Cleaning helps temporarily but who wants to spend 30mins washing and drying a disc every time you want to play it.
