Done buying new vinyl

@bdp24: Do you have numbers? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it's far closer to 'all' than to 'none' (or even 'some').

@realthing

"why then add all the added processing into vinyl and replaying on a mechanical device..."

This is a great (technical) question. But as in all things audio that are subjective to a certain extent, there will be many answers that supersede the logic of it all.

I know you did not ask me but I felt compelled to respond.

LPs are what I grew up with. The joy of the physical medium, the ability to hold something substantial in your hands and gaze/read while listening. It’s the connection I’ve always had with the medium. It brings me great joy just to be around lps. That may be why my collection is in my living room? Just my two cents.

Getting into digital does not excite me in any way. I continue to enjoy my path more and more.

Oh yeah, and I am loving most of the lps I continue to buy. I really believe it has much to do with my Rock 7.

Happy Listening!

Do I have the numbers, realthing? In my post above, it was I asking you for the data to support your statement "all (?) modern source material being digitally recorded/mastered". Remember, I did NOT say your statement is false. I myself have never seen the data that supports or refutes your statement. Do YOU have the numbers?

I'm stunned by your comment on "Beautiful Jazz." You may or may not like the music, but it has exceptional range and extremely little processing. The engineer involved is truly one of the finest in the industry.

Pressings are another matter. Clicks throughout one side would drive me crazy. I'm surprised. My pressing is perfect.

So are the new records made in China?
