Does Age Matter?


Having read and contributed to several threads on the digital vs analog controversy I developed a nagging itch that suggested it is older people that prefer analog and younger people digital. If this is the case than there is most definitely a nostalgic element to that opinion. Perhaps we can answer that question. I will go first. Please do not ruminate on the differences. Age and preference, digital, analog or both! We'll tally the results at the end. 

I am 67 and like Both analog and digital.

I'm 71 and have 3 systems, den, living room, bedroom.  All have both digital and analog components.  In the 3 systems, there are 7 working turntables.  I love vinyl.  But what I really love is music.  So most of my listening is digital (streaming mostly), whether on one of those systems or on my computer with headphones (Topping, Bottlehead electronics, many different 'phones).  When I have the time to devote to it, I use one of my turntables.   But I also admit to cheating in my digital listening - many of the playlists that I stream are rips that I have made of my records.  I should also mention that, until this pandemic hit, I went to about 20, mostly jazz and classical, concerts a year.  I count that as analog despite the fact that most of the musicians use their fingers.  

Someone else will have to parse the percentages.
