| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening I asked “Claude”, an ai program, the following: Which audio format sounds better: analog vinyl or digital streaming or digital CD? I got this answer: This is a fascinating question that audiophiles have debated passionately for decades! Each ... | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening Just to be clear: It was not my intention to get into the exhausted debate over which is better, analog vinyl, digital CD or digital streaming. If it came off that way, it’s due to the fact that dashed it off in the minutes before I turned in and... | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @dogberry I would rather listen to the vinyl. Period. Besides I don’t have the budget to own all LPs in both formats to hear which is better than the other. In those instances (about 100) where I do have a recording in both formats, however, th... | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @dogberry yes that’s it. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @sns When I have guests over and I ask them what they want to hear they more often than not leave it up to me. I often do “stream of consciousness”: the ending of one track will suggest another, usually only obvious to whatever is going on in my... | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @alvinnir2 Then the ritual is not for you. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @oranfoster I am trying to post a picture of my copy of that Angel release of Lippati’s recital but for some reason I am NEVER able to post photos on audiogon forum threads. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @facten I was merely speaking as an artist myself. It’s intrinsic to the act of making art - and album cover art falls into this, no less so than the music inside - that an artist would be demanding your attention. Otherwise, why bother? It seem... | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @fatdaddy2 I have a VPI cleaner. I use it as little as possible. As soon as I’m done with the LP, it goes back in its sleeve. As for anal: if it feels anal, maybe you are doing something wrong, your head is in the wrong place? For me, it is ab... | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @hilde45 I use my phone for reading. I use it for listening …. to podcasts. Never for music. | |
| The Sacred Ritual of Vinyl: A Return to Mindful Listening @facten They demand attention. Whether or not you comply and offer it is another question. As to the rest of it, it’s just something I pulled out my tuchus before I went to bed. I wouldn’t loose sleep over it. | |
| Do vacuum tube test values reflect sound quality? I get my tubes these days from a guy who drops them off, I listen for a while and then decide if they are the real deal. Hearing is believing. How tubes measure matters, but only as a baseline. You could have tubes that are identical in brand,... | |
| A life sentence!!! I have had the components I. This system for most of my life. About 35-45 years ago I’ll have them for another 30. Go to the bottom: theaudioatticvinylsundays.com/about | |
| Vinyl sounds better (shots fired) Uhm. Seriously: I bought my first LP when I was 11. I now have 6,000+. I came of age during the LP era, and I never stopped collecting and listening to them. “Better” is an irrelevant question. We have our preferences. I have mine, which might... | |
