Let's play ... Identity the LP fan

Posted by bjh (A) on September 15, 2006 at 10:01:10

Our subject is a very vocal advocate of the superiority of LPs as an audio format. Of course that's not exactly rare round there parts so some more clues ...

Our subject might be said to have recently re-discovered our cherished format ... let's say our subject is a Born Again LP fan.

Now not all re-births are painless and this is certainly the case for our subject as the following short history demonstrates.

The time is 1975 and out subject sells LP collection and dedicates collection energy into audio cassette. Attracted to "Perfect Sound Forever" our subject sells cassette collection and becomes one of the first to buy into the Devil's own format. Our sujbect then endures the CD Dark Ages and jumps in and out of CD collecting. Finally the advent of Hi-Resolution provides some relief from the recurring bouts of Build CD Collection/Sell CD collection mania and our subject finds some measure of sonic bliss. Hello DVD-A (mostly) collection.

Now in 2003 things take a turn toward the true path and our subject in a set of what appears chance circumstances --- ha!, we followers of the Analog God know better, but let's not digress --- purchases a inexpensive turntable and the rest is history; as is the DVD-A coillection I might add.

Opps, getting wordy, better hit the ole submit button, after all should we tarry longer our Born Again LP fan might well have abandoned us altogether for goodness knows what! Sooooo ...
