Last month, I played 8 hours vinyl and 180 hours digital. That I still buy 40 hrs of vinyl monthly is weird. Jun 10, 2019

    Take a day off, play all those vinyl records and enjoy.
    
    I wish I could do that some day. Then end with "The End" by The Doors and you feel inspired.

    Since I work from home, I pretty much listen in front of my setup six to eight hours a day. Great suggestion on "The End". Let me do that tomorrow.

  Feeling glad that dsp can make emotional engagement a more frequent thing. Cheaper than changing sheetrock, hot damn.

  I have officially accepted membership to the Dark Side, and will, henceforth digitize all analog through a digital amp. Whoda thunk?

    I got a Devialet 1000, which digitizes everything at the preamp stage.

  Saving up for all the dumping that happens in a recession is a sorry task, but someone has to do it.

    I am dealing with room issues, and the alternatives are daunting, the possible gains can huge though. Or not. DSP is easier, by far.

  Listening to Keith Jarrett's folk rock album feels like AM radio breaking new songs used to. Remember the first time you heard (your fave)?

  Any Valentine works better with a spin of John Coltrane and Johnny Hartman, and a bottle of Pinot.

  Saudade is selling an unused amp for peanuts, hooking it up to test and finding out it sounds marvelous in your current setup. 8-(

    Well, its just a different sound, but a much easier one to like due to the overall balance. Not as revealing, not as detailed, more pace. It think like the Senn 800 vs 600 argument. And if you consider the difference in price ($2K new vs $16.5), well.

    It was a Mccormack DNA -. 0.5 Rev B. More body, sweet top end, but less detail.

  DSP subtract certain frequency amplitudes, room treatments work on time domain and echo. It's hard work. Thank God for ears, lol.

  Finally found time to measure the room, and clean up modes. Of course, putting DSP on analog seems like a fool's bargain. Still....

  The two things that really drew me to vinyl were the expense and the inconvenience. Pt 2. Try shipping tables, jeez.

    But I have doubts about this being digital v analogue.
    
    I've got my own rips (they call them needle-drops these days? Could never get my head around that one!) of scratchy old LPs that I play in preference to the brand-new digital-clean CD rip. Yes, they sound "better." But the source I'm listening to is still digital. ...

    I also have CDs that. to my ear, have always sounded the same as the LP. They tend to be the older ones and I wonder if mastering methods have changed. But I think that... it's all in the mastering rather than the media,
