It's a double album with a folding cover, which is perfect for, well, many of you remember.
it's purer sound, but there probably are only a handful of people in the world with hearing sharp enough to hear the difference. What's next, walkmans and transistor radios?
They really don't age well and the tape hiss gets worse and worse over time. Vinyl sounds better than streams or digital downloads IMO. An unscratched CD sounds the best though my sound system, but not a lot of new CDs being made these days.
It's just do you care about the difference in sound. Dynamic range is the top priority when listening to quality digital sound.
Surface noise by vinyl is not there in digital.
There are other reasons why you can hear the difference in sound -
Is vinyl better? No and yes but really no. There is a concern with digital being spliced differently and the sound wave can
is affected but that's not exactly true
The listener of vinyl becomes accustomed to the sound his album produces and as the album becomes less and less
perfect via friction causing the recording to break down after each passage of the stylus his ear becomes accustomed to
that sound - therefore that's the sound he misses when hearing the digital recording of same album.
Now some digital sound is not good or of good quality.
So, the answer to your statement is, yes, everyone can hear the difference in sound quality - it's a preference but there
is a discernable difference in the two.
CDs typically sound great. Streams have a very low sampling rate and don't sound as good. Digital downloads are in between.
Tell a difference, it’s that digital is better and a much better value.
Sound systems are important and as things go, original crystal McIntosh receivers and amps are my favs, but that was a long time ago.
But I enjoy the old ways. Heck. I just bought a tape deck and am trolling around for old Dead show tape collections. Because why not.
There is something impersonal about getting all your music through a computer. My record collection could tell a lot of stories collections of bits in a hard drive cannot.

the album with delicate hands, pulling off the inner sleeve from the cover (and usually interesting artwork cover) placing it on the player, moving the balanced arm
across to the exact spot - landing the stylus down without a punch - the joy of listening to that first side of something - like Japanese Tea service. A ritual enjoyed.
Now it's really pick and play and done.
Though I do enjoy my Selling England By the Pound on a subway trip.

I thought I'd dabble. It's a million times better than streaming. Probably same as a CD. But it might be better, and the whole album experience is different. I set up the turntable to experience all the old albums I had that I just don't ever see replacing with CD (some I doubt exist any more). Sort of reliving high school and college. I thought I'd buy a new one just to see if there was a difference.
