[Psalm 73]

In everyday life, like the business world, we are just so wedded to "metrics" and "best practices", and there is great value in that.

But there is also value in things you cannot chart and graph.

Sure, there is "ease of use" and sheer volume storage capacity among other positive attributes of digital sound.
But they are no more real than the things I high-lighted in Post #120.

Some times it's OK not to speed through life at 200 mph.

I've been working on and with combat aircraft for 40+ years - a quiet, rainy afternoon with old record albums and a turntable can be relaxing in a way digital media just cannot meet. Can I prove that with metrics? No, but I can feel it in my bones.

I sometimes would like to have a turntable and some vintage vinyl because it is as you say as far as giving the warm nostalgic feelings....but I also love the portability of digital tunes and the ability to pick and choose.
Plus, I subscribe to a newsgroup provider for $2.95 a month and there’s literally millions of tunes to be had for free - especially some “arcane” older music....
