Old CDs and records

@ghdprentice 

Thanks for the post.   Sometimes I am tempted to set up my vinyl rig again to do a comparison between LP and CD.  In the meantime I will just agree to disagree with those that prefer LP.  Although I do miss the album cover art and the liner notes /  booklets of LP.

I have also learned that there are so many factors involved in all this, that just using logic and  or technical specifications and even sound quality is just plain useless.  We all have perfectly strange reasons for doing and thinking as we do.

You say you have access to thousands of tunes on Qobuz, and I'm sure they sound great, but, they would not belong to me.  I would be renting them by the month. I would not own them, and that's important to me.   For instance, to not have physical copies  of the Karajan 1977 Beethoven cycle, on both LP and CD, would be unthinkable!! :)

Cheers

somebody will love your collection.

I like most would take that collection off your hands.there are many cds and records out there that you won't find on any streaming service. About 20% of my music collection is not found on any streaming service. Also the sound of vymal is so much more rich warm and natural then digital music. I have found unless you plan to spend like 15000 or more on like a LINN streaming  unit  you are not going to hear the quality of music your vynal will produce.

Send the LPs my way.  Bin the CDs.

Streaming is robbing artists by (sometimes) paying them a small fraction of what they used to earn from physical sales.  In addition to those sellers who do pay something, he industry is rife with cheating and theft.

If streamers are comfortable with that, bully for them in this material world.
