Well, I could play devil’s advocate and point out that if the vinyl is still in good shape, and especially for some of the stuff Biden might be listening to, it might actually be higher quality than the current “crushed” reissues and sources.
Take a look on the http://dr.loudness-war.info/ website.
OTOH, current FM (music) radio is just awful. I can only think of a couple stations in this region (not just the local area) that are not mush.
Lets not miss the point. While I appreciate the intent of the what the guy was saying: In essence, get the kids off the phone and listening to stuff that will help them—the words and images created in our minds were straight “Norman Rockwell.”
That stuff just doesn’t sell these days.
