| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I’m an old fart. I never stopped listening to vinyl, it has slowly been going down in relative use. For a long time my system would oscillation between the analog sounding a lot better and not so much better. So now I have a top of the line music ... | |
| Bluesound Vault & Original CDs I have 2,000. They are on large racks along one wall working as diffusers. I guess someday I will get rid of them. Especially since I can’t hear the difference between the CDs, them saved on the streamers hard drive, and Qubuz on my streamer..I am... | |
