Yes, it is a little difficult to comprehend that whilst you can have leathers you don't have vinyls.....Yep I do that all the time. Vinyl is reference to one or many, it is designated like 'People', you don't put an s there, right PeePs, er without the chillee sauce thank you.
Good post 👍 When it comes to vinyl, among others, I’m always blown away by the sheer ‘presence’ of my Bowie albums (Hunky Dory, Aladdinsane and Ziggy Stardust). I have the same albums on CD, they ain’t the same. That said, I have CD’s (on the Telarc label for instance) that produce sound that would be impossible to reproduce on vinyl.
You're right. For me CDs and other digital formats have perhaps more detail but for realism or presence vinyl is hard to beat. It sounds more natural and that's why it's been a keeper over so many decades, warts and all....
I know I keep harking on about it, my guz-zillion vinyl collection that mysteriously got mis-appropriated from my mum's garage. This was what broke the camel's back, this was the death knell with the relationship I had with vinyl, it kind of took the wind out of me but it was a mix blessing. I no longer had to think about the storage and all the fluff.
I think we should leave you there
Ah! There's a did you know in there...
666 is probably Hollywood! I'm sure the Yanks would have pinched our dial emergency No 999 if we didn't have it first. Mind you we think of 911 for the wrong reasons. 616 that's a nice bit of trivia. The Devil is in the Detail....
Nice one
Isn't 666 the emergency numbers in Australia? 😂Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh Doug 666!
Perhaps it was some sort of a pact? 🤣Okay, so who's responsible for giving Jason a Like?
It was Lucifer he asked me to move on, nothing to see. 😁Okay, so who's responsible for giving Jason a Like?
If only they still made them...I know I keep harking on about it, my guz-zillion vinyl collection that mysteriously got mis-appropriated from my mum's garage.

It wasn't just wiping the vinyl and blowing on my MC cartridge before resting my album on the platter. I also had my tool kit, my tiny spanner and spirit leveller and I would diligently do the maintenance on my Logic DM101 every week to ensure it delivers optimum performance.
Funny it was never a pain, just a call of duty and me wearing the badge that denotes my love of audio
Still, things move on and I have totally embraced digital but old habits die hard, I'm still tweaking with cables and interconnects and pee'ing off some people in the process but here's the thing, no one should be judged for something they love doing and these anti-sentiments against vinyl, streaming, CD's et'al is just plain silly. If it is something we love, let's embrace it.
Ok, I'm kissing the backside of nostalgia, oh man, just look at this baby, so loved my Logic DM101, the most under estimated turntable. At the time we were living in the Linn Sondek LP12 hemisphere and WHF was on a wave of a witch hunt against any pretenders to the throne. The LP12 was an amazing TT in terms of dynamics and it's animated tonal signature but in terms of neutrality and separation of instruments, the Logic carved out it's own niche. It was analogue that sounded like digital. I guess the world wasn't ready for it yet. This probably explains, why I was easily weaned into the digital camp.
Still you can have your cake and eat it. Without it sounding a bit too cliché, music is a personal thing and we don't need parameters to limit our choice.
