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. 

@asvjerry ”Happy Thanksgiving”

We don’t have the equivalent in the UK. A good excuse to have an extra turkey non the less. Somethings go out of date. We have May 1st as a Bank Holiday that intended to celebrate spring, but now feels so dated. Dancing around the May Pole holding long ribbons in fancy dress does not appeal these days, but we take the public holiday anyway.
