It takes quite a stretch of imagination to actually believe that, but I can understand how many vinyl bigots, who are also often in denial about vinyl's rather grotesque sonic limitations, to be in denial about this analysis as well. I find the article in good agreement with itself and some of my experiences, where I routinely see people who are middle aged or older collecting vinyl. They often gratuitously assault my sensibilities by imposing the usual imaginative claims about how vinyl is basically practically superior to all forms of digital on me. They can belittle me as they will as I collect CDs and other digital media, because I understand and have experienced the actual facts of the matter. I sold off my extensive vinyl collection after a decent period of comparing the two. I still have a fairly modern and high quality vinyl playback system that I use for transcribing legacy performances onto digital media. I think its fine that people collect vinyl and listen to it if that's their preference, as long as they don't impose their preferences on me. Unfortunately, for many its some kind of religion that they want to spread to save the world from its headlong and continuing rush to digital. Something about digital and its better sound quality, far greater accuracy and avoidance of what most find to be irritating artifacts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ arnyk's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=64365 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105982 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
