In Reply to: RE: Oh yeah! a LP vs Digital debate! It's been a while. Let's make it a good one! posted by Analog Scott on March 18, 2024 at 00:23:56
Which format is the most accurate? :-)
I'm sure glad I enjoy listening to music on my stereo system and not LPs, CDs, or hi-res.
Follow Ups:
Digital is more accurate.
So do you have musicians come to your home, sit on your stereo and play music? Is that how you "enjoy listening to music on my stereo system and not LPs, CDs, or hi-res."?
You missed my jest in context of the latest threads on accuracy. I don't listen to discs of vinyl or plastic or chips on a motherboard, I listen to the music that's being played. In other words, I don't judge whether the music is enjoyable or not based on the medium.
I did miss that. And agree 100%
I'm an LP guy but only because of sunk costs. At one point about 25 years ago, I was flat ass broke and had to sell all of my CDs in order to put food on the table. When I was in a position to start buying music again, I got a good turntable for free and was able to buy an armload of used LPs for the price of one new CD.
By the time I was in a position to put together a new system, I had about 2000 LPs and maybe 2 dozen CDs. What's a guy supposed to do at that point?
Oh, one other problem I have with digital is the players. I never seem to be able to get more than a few years out of one before it starts malfunctioning.
You can take a turntable out of an attic where it's been sitting for decades, clean it up, put a new cartridge on it and it'll work perfectly and reliably for as long as you want to use it, but I've had CD players go belly up in as short as six months.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

I've pretty much stopped buying LPs or CDs unless it's something I can't get as a download or it's an album I really want on physical media. As it is I've been culling to make room for the occasional purchase. I decided to stop building the collections as it would just take up more space and mean even more crap for my spouse or family to deal with when I die. Plus, before I get rid of a LP I record it so it's available on the NAS drive.
I've had good luck with my 16 year old player/transport. Seems to be hanging in there just fine but I have been thinking about which transport I'd buy to replace it.
And I've cut waaay back on LP purchases, but I still have about 3600 that'll have to be dealt with.
