I am old, had an high-end system in the 70s, Bob Carver front end, moving coil cart..beautiful Infinity speakers. It sounded incredible in that moment. Lots of time has past…got out of it….but…
5 years ago…I decided to get back in..music is something that I can still enjoy at my age…I researched heavily. Decided to go all digital..99% streaming. I made some mistakes..learned more…It’s been a fun ride. I am a separates guy. I am now using a hi-end dedicated streamer, D2D converter, R2R DAC, a tube preamp that I personally modified. LPS where ever I can. Streaming Qobuz on Roon. I have no way of knowing how this sounds compared to vinyl (I have no records or turntable😅). It’s all about the music and I have tons at my fingertips. I smile whenever I sit down to listen or research new music. Thanks foray the "pondering", here!
As long as we are all having fun…that’s all that matters!
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.
