One of the great things about Vinyl

I find the same is true with CD’s. It’s just not as convenient to be impatient and jump around. Listening to an album or CD encourages a deeper appreciation of the musicians, writing, style, skill of the performance. I put on a Junko Onishi CD last night (Crusin’) and was blown away once again by her musicality, finesse and amazing talent as a pianist. Had I been streaming I may have not taken the time to listen beyond one or two cuts. Time very well spent.

I have recently subscribed to quobuz. I find myself finding albums I want to listen to and add them to my favorites. When I go to listen to them, I jump from one album to the next. I can’t remember when I’ve listened to an entire album on quobuz. I never thought this would be that way. Crazy. 

I have PVC LP Records that sound better than cd's.  No Snap Crackle or Pop! Most of mine,  Currently giving all my Records a heavy Ultrasonic cleaning.  I've gone through 243 of them so far.  Gust got about 100 to go.  Sadly or not so sadly my old Polk Audio PSW110 Subwoofer died, have a new Outlaw Audio Powered Sub coming.  I'll take a well cleaned LP Analog record over a cd any day of the week!!! When the wife and I are enjoying some drinks I just have to be extra careful changing records. Funny i'm old enough to remember when cd's first came out!  I jumped on that band wagon, have gone full circle, Back to Analog.

Analog is more emotionally engaging, since it's not music chopped into bits and reconstituted with jitter, ringing, etc.  Your brain doesn't have to sort it out.  Digital has gotten much better, but unless these issues are resolved on mega buck equipment, there's still a difference. I listen to both, but when you put on an lp, you sit and listen, and when you put on a cd you do other things.

My nostalgic ears may require rejuvenating. What a long strange trip it's been.
