Vinyl vs Streaming
Hey,
Hope this is OK to post here.
Do you ever find yourself questioning Vinyl in the face of Streaming?
And question yourself, why am I going through all this struggle when streaming is so much easier.
I was sitting on my couch streaming some hi res music, which was sounding great, asking this to myself.
It's just so much easier to stream and get from one song to another.
I know for some, their analog rig is much better and stronger than their digital side (if they even have one) and for others it might be the opposite.
Regardless, just wondering if you ever feel if it's worth all the extra work.
I just put a new Dynavector XX2 on my table and I was really surprised how good my LPs sound. They were good before but that xx2 really pulls a lot of detail and has big dynamics. Sure digital is great but with a great LP it's as good or better. Sometimes just different, but really enjoyable with that cartridge. |
not quiet the same. photography is about understanding light, creating artistic composition and knowing what aperture and exposure to set to capture what you intend and keep the viewer’s focus on the right objects in the photograph. You don’t need to see in ultraviolet. |
One somewhat tangential subject is that the breadth of repertoire available digitally dwarfs that on vinyl. I listen primarily to Classical and once independent CD labels revved up we began to be able to hear thousands of composers who somehow didn’t land in the Classical Canon , and it’s further expanded with streaming. I have read and heard that similar things have happened with other genres. Heck, I know people that have bands as side gigs to their regular jobs that have been able to release songs that have got thousands of clicks.
