ahh the good old days all of these soft arguments are replaying in my head from 30 years ago. the reality is music is an experience. it depends on what moves you. it has nothing to do with the linn church or a limited noise floor if it doesn’t matter to you. I begrudgingly left vinyl 30 years ago because the entire classical catalogue was moving to cd-and it was sonically better-not subjectively to everyone-but sonically purer and truer to life. not everyone liked this because the “warmth” of the analog deficiencies pleased some people. but let’s be clear and understand that last sentence is the crux of this discussion and has been since the 80’s. i’m back into vinyl now not because it’s better…… but because the experience is different and enjoyable in its own right.

knowing which walls are useable for audio equipment is a key factor when renting as an audiophile, as well as what floor you live on etc. it also sucks if you happen to live next to someone who works from home, etc.
