This poll's results make me very depressed...

Bas Horneman · 8th September 2009, 03:38 PM

Why is that?

raypalmer · 8th September 2009, 03:45 PM

Ahhhh I'm a fanatical analogue purist.

But I don't want to start that argument all over again so let's that dog lie

Hooowever I'm amiable to proper music servers, provided they're using enormous FLAC's and running through high quality DAC's. Seems like that might be your approach

I've got a small amount of media running on Yellowdog Linux from my PS3. Still need a good DAC tho.

Unfortunately I grew up in the post LP era. But started buying LP's a few years ago. (Not entirely true...because my dad had a lot of LP's...some of which I have now...I ditched the James Last and Mantovani LP's)

Hope to get my BIX up and running next year after I've moved to my brother's place.

And if I was a millionaire or not so broke from all my spending. I would have gotten into open real ...and would have subscribed to the tape project thingie. http://www.tapeproject.com/

You should have kept the Mantovani. You may need it some day.

This poll gives me hope that sanity exists.

Most of my material is on LP (4 or 5 to 1), but other than FM radio, most listening is off CD. CDs are slowly being transferred to computer (AIFF), but it still doesn't meet the fidelity level of my CD-player.

FLAC is #1, followed by LPs...if I'm not sitting down and really listening, no point to wearing the vinyl or cartridge more.
