In Reply to: Yup, most always a 'learning curve', when trying something new ........... posted by Cut-Throat on April 8, 2021 at 07:38:22:
in the early to mid 90's I was in a sweet spot: I was really starting to get into collecting music, learning and loving classical at a voracious pace, plus it was the dawn of massive cd releases -- Fanfare magazine was weighty reading those days my friends -- PLUS I was smart enough to know vinyl was being dumped at thrifts by the ton per day.
I. Cleaned. Up. The fruit was, by the end of the 1990's, an extremely deep classical collection (or, a moving nightmare, depending on your outlook).
My collection is "curated" as they say. I have culled thousands of records over the years, especially in the late 90's, when I simply was running out of room.
My collection is an entirely different beast than *anything* streaming can be. My memory is such I know where records are on the shelf, and what's next to them.
It is a very tactile experience, ruminative even. It's like a musical garden. One tends it constantly. That's saturation.
Learning curves reveal new worlds. But I already have so much vinyl and cd's my house has a slightly greater gravitational attraction than buddy next door. I figure in a few hundred thousand years, my house will eventually swallow his house. That directly impacts my desire to learn new tech.
