I've been at this hobby for about 45 years and our digital playback sources and systems sound much, much better to these ears...

These guys apparently didn't get the memo (link) .....
By the way, I'll never go off on anyone who prefers digital over vinyl, high-rez over CD, etc. .... I might disagree, but it's happy disagreement.
heard the guy talk about his B&O Turntable.
It "sounds different" he said of Vinyl. Yes, I agree, if you got it from a good analogue tape, some still record that way to the Vinyl.
I think the depersonalization comments of buying music is indeed correct, I grew up around CD, the booklets and later on the artwork in the form of cd jewel cases, made of paper, etc.. made the music experience personal.
It is not so much that it is non personal now which is a bummer, the lack of physical music stores is the thing that kills me. Only 10 years ago a friend of mine and I would make our monthly venture out to the music store and buy 20 or 30 cds a piece, now that is not possible, and amazon or what have you is all we got left. the thrill of waiting for something in the mail is all we got.
In Auckland, we still have record stores and they are busy! Real Groovy recently expanded its lp section by about 30%, from what I can see. All the musos I know continue to support them assiduously for both used and new lps and, increasingly CDs too.
Keep the faith.
