It relates to how, philosophically and psychologically, we externalize ourselves into the world through objects. It’s more than tactility. It’s memory, permanence, nostalgia, and emotion. Perhaps some feel it more than others.
Personality
I now find myself streaming most of the time. Although the SQ is really good, I realize there’s something missing. When I pull out a record or CD, each one seems to have a uniqueness or personality of its own which reflects when I first bought it or played it. Also each one seems to have a sound signature which I associate with it, making it more personal. I don’t get that with streaming
Does anyone else feel this way?

@mahgister "...A book matter as much as bread...In some case more ..." I think we have a similar appreciation of knowledge. While I read or listen most books these days, my library of literature in leather bound (Easton and some other press) are among my most prized possessions. My partner and I are most comfortable when close or in a university. She went to Brown, she is much smarter than I. It is what makes humans unique the ability to learn and understand... so, at least for a few of us it is the ultimate expressions of being human, an certainly the most wonderful thing in my life... well, and creating art, solving problems and looking over the edge. |
