Hi Skip,
A situation I can relate, sympathize with and complete understand. As a child of the early 70’s I have many fond memories of spending hours listing to my records, looking at the wonderful artwork and liner notes. I love physical media and have started collecting my favorite’s albums on vinyl again. Lots of fun.
However, that being said, I find that the very unfortunate turn in the music industry over the past few years to brick-wall or heavily compress music on CD has rendered the music listing experience of one that I loved to one that is rather unpleasant and fatiguing.
So while I always prefer to own something that is tangible I had to weigh out my options of owning a physical release but not enjoying the sound quality, even to the point of discomfort or buying a digital release of my favorite music that is at an extremely high audiophile quality. By going the digital HD download route I find my love and passion for music has returned, and I actually look forward to new release day again.
In all honesty however, the lack of physical media in my collection sucks, (I also have to make sure that I back my system up regularly
) but that is where I find myself in the music world today.
Take care Skip,
Christian
