Why does it have to be one or the other, to the point of almost getting into a bunfight over it?
Have spotify and Tidal subscriptions here as well as 6000 odd albums in digital format.
Choice of music...isn’t a problem.
Yet, I still enjoy spinning vinyl absolutely its a nice thing to have.
There is something to owning a “nice thing”, whether a watch, fine art, hifi kit or whatever floats your boat.
Digital streaming doesnt impact on that?
Good (and not necessarrily expensive) digital kit can make streamed music as good as it needs to be imo.
whats not to be happy about?
Tom,
Your saying that availability of streamed music takes away from “focused listening” caught my ear?
We all enjoy music differently and whilst I DO enjoy the focused listening thing, its great just to enjoy the journey and appreciate being able to dig into new music you might otherwise never have heard of.
If its really great...
we can buy the album, shut he curtains and get our concentration face on.
