Not A Chance in Hell!
I accumulated all the records I hadn’t gotten during the sixties, which meant the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Janis Joplin, Moody Blues, records I hadn’t collected in the 1960s 1n 1970s. I was still in San Francisco, still a DJ. I got records every week through the record pool. I still have around 5,000 pieces of vinyl, down from 15,000. But those are ones I began buying in 1958. They’re going nowhere. Ever.
And my turntable is going nowhere, either not even with me having a "top-of-the-world-Ma" DCS converter! There’s something about how vinyl expands in a way that is entirely lifelike - and enthralling!!!
Besides, to my ears, digital was not remotely as good as vinyl if you were listening to the classical music forms: classical, jazz, gospel, blues, r&b and THE SINGERS! The Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughn, Sinatra, Julie London, Kiri Te Kawana, Yma Sumac types of singers. They sound magnificent on vinyl, and just very, very, very good on digital. Vinyl is more 'effortless' musically in an audio medium, I find.
