Impossible to resolve rationally because it's in your head. The OP more or less said so.
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.

I have had similar experiences when comparing different mastering. I have a top end LP 12 and similarly chosen digital end that is voiced similarly and have done extensive comparisons between the same performance and mastering in vinyl, stored files, cd and streaming and found them to sound the same... with the caveat that vinyl has a fairly large variation based on the pressing number. So a similar but not the same conclusion is that high variation in sound quality comes from the performance, mastering, and components you choose... but there is no unique or significant advantage in the medium... well, other than no pops and surface noise in digital. |
Well maybe it's just me, but I would disagree and say the original OP did have negative comment on streaming, and I was responding that I disagree. Thats all, I have done both(and for quite awhile), and was sharing my preference. It is an old discussion, that is meaningless, and yes everybody can have thier preference. Just to clarify I made no negative comment on Vinyl. The only negative I have with vinyl, is I need to get rid of all this stuff I got left......... |
