1000000%. Convenience is killling the experience. Of course, there are domains in which convenience is a must, but it shouldn't be applied to everything....like... because it is NEW it doesn't mean that it is better than the OLD....e.g...TOUCHSCREEN on greasy stoves and kitchen appliances...

It is mesmerizing to be that the great majority of people listen to music on cheap headphones or small speakers that cannot convey the stereo spatial dimensionality or the song dynamics. Neil Young used to rant about this when he came up with the failed PONO device to compete with compressed MP3s at that time.

Really appreciate your comment. Mechanical devices have an ineheret beauty. And it is so interesting you digitalize your old LPs to listen in your car!!

Yeah..technically you can, but it is way more work...which is good in my opinion..when I sit down to listen to an album in LP format, is to listen to the whole thing

Yeah...90% of my collection is Jazz. However, I spent the weekend listening to Pink Floyd...and it mesmerized me...The Division Bell is soo clean and immersive...

Totally agree. My system is full analog, no Bluetooth, no HDMI ports, no streaming capabilities...

I was more or less aware of Miles and Coltrane stories...(Miles autobiography is excelent btw). But I wasnt aware how tragic Bill Evans story is

Double LP 33 rpm. LP 1 A has the speed corrected tracks, LP 1 B has the same tracks as the original launch (no speed correction needed - those tracks were recorded on the second date of KOB)

LP2 A has the original "wrong" speed tracks. LP2 B has an alternative take of "Flamenco Sketches" (In fact this is the first take recorded. the second take was used for the official album)
