I met a young audiophile at the Newport Beach show last year.... (I missed the show this year.) He told me he was once totally uninterested in music, until he visited someone's place where he experienced vinyl playback for the first time. He told me it was a life-changing experience.
I just wonder how many other millennials out there would be more interested in music (not necessarily audiophiles) if they just had the opportunity to experience analog playback to some degree.

Didn't I read about a study which concluded that younger (college-age) listeners actually PREFER the sound of mp3's to that of lossless and uncompressed files? If that's true, then it stands to reason that these youngsters might prefer the sound of vinyl too. ;-)
Oh - I almost forgot! Don't YOU prefer MP3's to other digital formats too?
When it comes to analog experiences, I like to cover instances where even the millennials will get the audiophile bug, under the right circumstances.
My favorite digital music format is still Redbook CD played on a good dedicated CD player..... Even though I do prefer MP3 over FLAC, that's relative.... For aside from YouTube and downloaded concert videos, I don't even listen to music on a computer..... And rarely do so on a portable. (I'd use portables more if I thought I could enjoy the music to the degree that I can on a home system.... But no dice. I've yet to hear a file-based portable that I think approaches good CD playback.)
My next experiment will be recording some CDs to analog cassettes. (I just hope the Tascam 122 MkII is a reliable machine. Naks have gotten me gun shy.) Want to find out if I enjoy CD-based music more when there's no active digital processing going on.
I will be getting an ultrasonic cleaning setup for my vinyl..... (A small American outfit called Vibrato LLC markets 60 kHz units. Disc rotating systems are available on eBay.) Followed by LAST treatment..... There is so much good music to be enjoyed..... Might as well enjoy it to its fullest potential.
At least we DO agree on general concepts! ;-)
