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.

Lol, occurs to you? Lol. Like its a fact or something. Im an audiophile, I stream and my system sounds amazing. Id go pepsi challenge to any system in the same dollar range, or even above it.

You don't say, Brett, Pepsi tastes great in a red plastic cup! 😂😂

But falsely bashing a media you dont like or understand, doesn’t make it inferior. 

Who is bashing anything?

To quote the OP, "Outstanding sound quality can be had from all media. At the end of the day, it’s all about the music." I'd add to that the mastering.

I took the Pepsi Challenge 45 years ago...I definitely preferred the cold fizzy one to the warmish flattish one...

I think wine tastes better out of paper cups than plastic ones. But if it's Mad Dog, right outa the bottle will work....
