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?

*L* @mylogic ..."Off topic" occurred awhile ago, but wandered off into more involved and involving topics....which speaks well for those contributing to the arc of the forum....

Not as well-read as some, I am reasonably proficient at 'getting the gist' of subjects that interest yours unruly but land into a shallow puddle...

One copes as one can. 

...but do carry on, please.

Oh, happy Thanksgiving. BTW.... *S*

Logically, it shouldn't make a difference. Yet, it does. I can't say why possession of an LP (or CD even though they're ripped not played) is important to me. There's a greater connection, even though Qobuz sounds perfectly fine. Clearly, I am more of a materialist than I realised.

@kennyc - Great song, that. Mary Hopkin used to be married to uber-producer Tony Visconti, too.
