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.

60yrs both but no clear cut preference yet.  Building my first bucket list audiophile analog + digital system so am accumulating components.  Preamp arrives tomorrow.  Just need cables and speakers to complete.  May use inexpensive speakers till get funds for speakers hopefully in next few months.

@hobbitinablender....*G*  Brings back the memory of the SNL 'Bass-O-Matic' that nearly jumped off the table when Dan Akryod turned it on....

...and L. Neuman going "That's Great Bass!" after (hopefully faking) a sip....

I have 12 feet of shelved Vinyl Albums from the 60's thru the 80's.  I have not listened to them for over 30 years.  As a senior citizen,  I prefer Digital for quiet, convenience, and ease of use.  I could not stand the Vinyl ticks and pops now, nor the act of getting up every 20 minutes to turn the disk over or replace it.  Using the digital transferred to hard drives with an excellent detailed sound system works the best for me.  
I listen to forget the world and be transferred to a place of peace.  Digital does this for me in a way that no Vinyl can.
