@chakster , It seems to me judging by the number of threads on room acoustics that a lot of people here on Agon use some form of acoustic management be it panels or something else.
What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?
I well remember in the ‘80s when we were amazed and thrilled by CD.
Wow, no more pops and clicks and all the physical benefits.
Seems so many abandoned vinyl.
But now, with so much convenience, available content and high SQ seems even dedicated vinylholics have again abandoned vinyl and embraced digital. However, there is clearly a new resurgence in analog.
But I look at, for example, whitecamaro’s “List of amplifiers...” thread and no one seems interested in analog!
To me, it seems strange when auditioning “$100Kish gear, that vinyl doesn’t enter the picture or conversation.

@xenolith ok, most of you guys here will be shocked..... the term “Bone Record” belongs to bootleg lines of records born in Soviet Union late 50’s and those records was copied from original LPs which was not available at all to vinyl sheets of used X-ray images that’s why they was called Bone. Check it out- https://amp.theguardian.com/music/2015/jan/29/bone-music-soviet-bootleg-records-pressed-on-xrays https://www.amusingplanet.com/2019/02/bone-records-soviet-era-bootlegged.html?m=1 |
It’s always a crap shoot buying new LPs. I have a couple of Better Records $$. Nice but a lot of money for 40 minutes. And for that money I can buy a lot of stuff.It would be nice to get into new music that I might find by checking out the Pandora app on my smart TV. Think this may be the best advantage of streaming. I also sometimes buy an inexpensive CD of a LP I am interested in to check it out. But it is a drag that so many of my very favorite CDs are crazy expensive on vinyl. Eg. Rickie Lee Jones Pop Pop and Marc Cohn debut album. Pop Pop can sell for hundreds on Discogs! |
