Moderately Confused by Jeff Stahler for April 13, 2016

Wow. That made my memories flutter.

Paul is dead (skip) Paul is dead (skip) Paul is dead….

Nowadays, it’s the youngsters telling the oldsters that.

Just bought a $100 worth of used vinyl on Monday. Still love my system from the 70’s……and it’s still worth as much as I paid for it…maybe more.

At least vinyl will still play with pop, snap & hiss; CDs & digital files just die (and analog DOES sound better!!)

I don’t get it. I remember going to stereo stores with fantastic equipment and CD’s are just as good to me. No scratches, pops, skips and smaller players. As to analog being better, I never heard cowbell in one song till I heard it on CD. I was blown away.

….not to mention….not to mention….not to mention…not to mention…( Oh, darn! I have to get up and move the needle arm!)

More satisfying than the audio cassette.

Spot on – I grew up in the 70s and 80s with vinyl and I loved cassettes because I could take them with me. The sound on CDs was always far superior to me. I don’t get the fascination with vinyl.

and buying 0.5 gm tracking styluses at $150 a pop (1975 $)

Good equipment takes care of most of this. Vinyl sounds richer.

just goes to show, hang on to everything, cuz what goes around comes around…even records! (badda bum)

…and accurate reproduction. Damn straight.
