Emma Watson- audiophile?

"Steve Jobs was a pioneer of digital music. His legacy is tremendous, but when he went home, he listened to vinyl."
-Neil Young.

It's the same Neil Young who said that downloading a digital file is like saying, "Hey, Picasso. Fax me a painting."

Please!!! Keep Audiogon free of TMZ fodder!

I have a 24-year-old female friend who is mesmerized by the sound of my analog system and the whole experience of listening to records. It of course helps that I have a dedicated listening room with $$$-worth of equipment (by non-audiophile, not by A-gon standards of course), but she loves the entire experience and aspires to get an analog system when she makes enough money to afford it. Before I "converted" her, she listened to her IPhone exclusively...I really think the fact that kids today are hardly ever exposed to good sound has most to do with the analog being a niche interest. Make the hobby less exclusive and attempt to expose one's kids, friends and non-audiophiles to the experience. It may not bring vinyl back as the music reproduction source of choice for all, but it will strengthen its popularity and ongoing revival. Just my two cents.

I don't know how many times I've said that same thing.

Even if you do nothing for analog or high end audio, the fact a young person discovers how beautiful music can be when it's presented in top form is passing along the joy we all experience.

I had to google "TMZ" to find out what it was...
