Streaming Is To Audio What Red Plastic Cups Are To Wine

Unpacking and going through my vinyl collection, it occurs to me that vinyl is it, whereas streaming is Audio’s red plastic cup.

The best wines taste low-shelf in the red plastic cup. Yes, the red plastic cup is cheap and convenient, just like streaming. Wine should feel the same regardless of the vessel - it’s the same wine - but it does not. So should music - but it does not. Streamed music may sound (nearly) as good as vinyl, but it feels... disposable. Vinyl does not. Vinyl is the thing. Vinyl is it! Just my opinion, of course.

Your philosophy does not make any sense . Good wine in red plastic cup will still taste well, however I pay so much attention to my glassware , but vinyl record will play horrible if you play it on $100 turn table.

Right, right, you thought you got steak and lobster, but, what you ended up eating was some chicken feet minced with donkey hoof. 

Now, go wash it down with some Jim beam and pretend its a remy martin or something.

 Good for you! As some have suggested, "it’s your opinion " I agree, but it’s the right opinion. Some people prefer "bananas and rice" I prefer steak and lobster.

Blind folded I can tell the difference between between drinking wine from a Red Solo Cup or a wine glass.
