When the needle hits the vinyl.....I must be getting old because I remember as a kid my mom not wanting to spend the extra dollar for the "stereo" version of my favourite Beach Boy album. We enjoyed those LP's, then reel to reel tape,4 track, 8 track, cassettes, and KABOOM--the CD was born, SACD (still awesome) DVD Audio, MP3 doesn't count, and now Hi res downloads. Surely they are working on he next big thing as I type. But, we all know, if it sounds good to you in the moment---that's as good as it gets. And sometimes it doesn't even have to be heard on each of our own awesome systems. When it sounds right-live or reproduced-you will know it.
Goodbye CD's
Seems that Borders by me is unloading all their cd's..They claim they are just not selling...Im sure this is just the beginning of the end in the retail stores for cd's...can it long before cd's are gone completely? Many Ive spoken with including some dealers have mentioned this and said "the writing is on the wall" for cd playback..
I have been on the fence about going to a file data system for music, and have been eyeing a Squeezebox duet and setting up my hard drive to take the plunge..maybe now its that time??
Or..maybe just Im just a geezer in my heart of hearts and should just look for old and new Vinyl to keep me going...hmmm..I could be very happy with a mainly vinyl set up ;-)
