Interesting; when I mentioned "Twenty years from now, ..."; me too, I did not realize that I'll be probably dead before that.
And now that I think of it, and that I'm also aware how much faster days and years go by now, I'm heaven more happier to be here, among you fine people.
What we were listening to today.
We had a rather spirited discussion - but we were all arguing the same thing. Yeah, we like vinyl. No doubt. But no minds were changed about anything. We still use digital (some of us more than others), and the convenience factor of it is unsurpassed - especially coming from a PC (fine, fine, and in rare cases a Mac).
But, building a collection of the music you want can be certainly problematic (costly/time consuming/lack of availability). And bad vinyl is just like bad digital - it makes your ears bleed.
So, the fun part of the day? Taking Jeff out of his comfort zone and plugging in a laptop to the AMR, listening to the PMC speakers powered by the Bryston 28b's and Aesthetix pre. And turning the volume above 40. Additionally, it allowed us to extend our wings a bit as far as music genre goes.
Dewey is already assembling his collection, starting with a very stellar something that is hard (and usually exorbitantly expensive) to come by. I can't wait to hear it. And I am praying his "plan" works to get the system exactly the way he wants it.
As an aside: if I still used CDs, I'd probably be damn near obsessive about vinyl - and absolutely hate the CD (even more than I already do) simply because it's a manual/physical process that gives you nothing in return. If I had to get my ass up every time I wanted to skip a track or swap an album - it better be for vinyl and not for a spinning silicon disc!
And good news: Jeff is starting to learn how to use his remote control(s)! :rofl:
(ps: Mike - the attachment management is bonkers here - can you simplify it so we can get a direct hyperlink to the full size image to just bbcode in?)

Jeff,
I think we need to help out our buddy Doug!!!
I have a lil sumpin-sumpin that's supposed to arrive tomorrow...

Dewey, Jeff's already scratched my itch!
I'm just curious about the digital comparison is all.
Emile.....I hope you enjoyed the Bryston/PMC set up and the LP spins, its to bad we didn't have more of the same titles to do a bit more back and fourth but never the less the computer stuff was nice too. I think we would all agree the Hell freezes over LP kicked butt Emile, Dewey thanks for stopping by for a fun morning of tunes and talk......this get together was geared more for -E- to hear my Bryston/PMC and vinyl set up and for me to hear some digital stuff on his Emile's computer.....and to finally push Dewey to the Dark Side :evil: hey congrats on your first LP.....Now you just need a turntable
