Digital is far better than vinyl

@arafiq

your terrific humor and satire is lost on many here, unfortunately, and instead you unleashed some latent audiophilia nervosa and belligerence!! 😂🤣 -- hope you had a good thanksgiving and long weekend, and are enjoying the music

to folks who are not quite in the know, @arafiq was facetiously (and hilariously, imo) making his op as a tit-for-tat ridicule of the all-too-serious post from a week or so prior, using the same goofy posture and passive aggressive posture to laud analog...

i guess you needed to be here, and then, see that goofy post and the responses it engendered, to get the joke...

anyhow, best wishes for the year end holidays to all, and hope your holidays are filled with humor and joy!!!

@jjss49 and @jerryg123 -- thanks for ’getting’ the joke. I thought the satire was obvious but never expected that this thread would garner 150+ responses. That’s crazy!!! It also shows how many people never bothered to read the subsequent posts before jumping to conclusions.

"latent audiophilia nervosa and belligerence"

Haha! I couldn’t have explained the knee jerk and clueless reactions any better.

Tonight I’m going to sacrifice three virtual lambs at the digital altar to appease the vinyl gods (who are apparently the most thin-skinned and humorless gods in audiophiliac universe).

Happy holidays to everyone!

Raised on records and reading all the hype I couldn’t wait for digital to get here, but when I heard it I was disappointed with the cd sound and digital recordings on records. Many years later I returned to the Cd format with vastly satisfying results. Now I enjoy my old Lps, Cds, & streaming (Qobuz) depending on my mood or what time permits. I get most pleasure from my turntables, but have to admit digital is most convenient and sounds pretty pretty pretty good!

Loved every minute of this thread. I can't believe how many people have missed the humour in it. 

Top and bottom of it all is either format can be truly excellent if you buy the right gear.

Great Post buddy!

I doubt more recent posters don't get the satire, plenty of posts point to it. Unless they're not reading through thread, this is chance for them to profess their bias, can't pass up the chance. The true believer can't help themselves.
