If you use digital media (no streaming) you're also using rituals. Read about USB drives, backups, ripping, folder and label organization, blah blah.

Think about it.l

Yes, but by and large, we do most of it but once...

And it’s all about preference. To each their own. I have my digital media and my turntable, both of which I love.

In my opinion it's all about the recording quality. Can't compare the sound quality based on technical parameters of the media.

Yes! This.

Hey all,

Just thought I'd let you know: I expect to have a new chapter this week.

No, It's not going to be one of the billion or so product announcements. This one is more of a business philosophy/personal thoughts kinda chapter. I'm gonna try to keep to a more regular every-other-week chapter schedule this year, since there's a lot to talk about. After the chapter this week, it's time to talk about something that changed late last year (another kinda business thing), then maybe it's time to talk Aegir...you get the picture.

As always, thanks for reading my rambles!

All the best,
Jason

... i used reel to reel on 80s ... fantastic sound!



Sure, see my quotation marks, it's an exageration to try to show more clearly mi intentions. Something more common in latin cultures ... i'm an italian citizen also Pietro, i suppose you're italian by your surname. My grandfather comes to South America from Italy, surely running away from postwar in Europe, i really didn't know him.

I saw and yes I am.

Patiently waiting for SOL. I would preorder one sight unseen if possible. (Hint, hint)

No doubt. I saw Darko's video and the specs look extremely promising. I'm with you, just tell me where to send my check.

Hi Jason,
I am a great fan of your company products and have quite a few of them.
I am curious about your position on participating in audio exhibitions- as
manufacturer.

I will never go back to vinyl, but to each his own.

Down from 12,200 LP/EP in 2014 to about 300 (whats left over that hasn't sold yet) and my TT has been gone since 2014 too. Remastered and properly mastered digital on a fine DAC gets you right into the same sound quality - except the lower bass which digital kills vinyl in and pretty much always has.

I will say some MC cartridges - the really expensive > $2k stuff does things with treble (including phase weirdness) that I do occasionally miss. And there is a certain driven madness of the vinyl cognoscenti - VPI record cleaning machine, heavy tables, heavier bases, zerostats, brushing cartridges, AT safety raiser, every alignment perfect - and all those cartridges - FR1-mk3F, Madrigal Carnegie 1, Shelter 501, Lyra Parnassus, Koetsu Black, Rosewood, Rosewood Signature - all dust in the wind now... and no I don't miss it....

I used it for many years without thinking it terrible, I just use vinyl less now, and music cds, and reel to reel.

A reel to reel. Now there is something that has a ritual to it. I need to get back to digitizing some of the tapes I have before the tapes go bad.
