The Vinyl Thread

I don’t listen to it, but I clearly still buy it. There’s a certain display value of a 12" that a CD just doesn’t hold in a shadow box. If I ever do meet Suzanne Ciani, I hope to have that LP with me. I also hope to have a real Buchla for her to sign, but that’s off topic.

I had some friends in the Chicago Jazz scene who swear by LPs, but I have to agree with Bitnik that digital audio is in every way superior. Once I started hearing what digital clarity meant for my old beloved recordings, cassette sounded muffled and LPs like the music was performed while the artists’ children nervously played with bubble wrap in the background.
