Listening habits.

Last year, I attended a presentation by a guy who has been involved in both designing Linn Products and on their recording side. He said that most people would be amazed at how far back in time you have go to get an all analogue album.

@newton_john ok. That’s no problem. Plenty of original vinyl out there. In addition the new reissues done by some very skilled dudes like Kevin Gray will blow away the remastered crap. And when I say blow away I am not exaggerating. You just can’t get this sound on streaming. 

Older stuff that was remastered is not worth the effort with streaming for the most part.

So true. The number of worthy remasters in my experience can be counted on one hand. Robin Lane & The Chartbusters is one of the few candidates, if only to help assure that the quintessential rock recording OAT, "Don’t Wait Till Tomorrow," is not yet lost to memory.

I never stopped listening to records, but I listen to many formats.  I listen mostly to vinyl records, shellac records, CDs, and streaming.  I also listen to celluloid records and wax records, but not as often as the other formats.  I have one turntable for vinyl, one for shellac, and I have some old record players that play celluloid and wax records.  I've thought about getting an Archeophone (google it) to play celluloid and wax records on my main system, but I have not purchased one.

Absolutely. I can tolerate a few pops and clicks on old records, if the music sounds great.
