let's all have some wine...in a fine glass...with our music.
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.

About the word "elite"... I consider myself "elite" because i studied Greek,Latin and English (by reading science or philo. books only)... I consider myself "elite" audiophile... Because i learned basic acoustics not because i own high end gear... I know my post will create controverse...but a word is not always pejorative in all context... Demagogical use of the word "elite" is not my thing... For sure this is why the word "elite" attributed to oligarchs and people aiming at money and power in society revulse me ...
