The Vinyl Experience: Imperfections and Subjectivity

In this chapter, they discuss their personal preference for listening to vinyl records over streaming platforms like Spotify. They explain that music is not dependent on the delivery platform, but rather happens in the listener's brain. They argue that the imperfections and distortions of vinyl add a warmth and subjective experience that they enjoy more than CDs. They also criticize supposed experts who claim that a specific technology delivers superior sound when it may not. They draw a parallel to expensive moisturizers with pseudoscience claims, highlighting the importance of personal preference without misleading marketing.
