What's your favourite way to listen to music?
Last week Neil Young caused a stir in the music world by removing his music from many online streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.
Many audiophiles are up in arms about Mr Young's comments about the poor quality of digital streaming sound. Spotify and Apple Music are considered very good quality, but others, such as Pandora and YouTube are of a lower quality.
After reading his biography, Shakey, I know that Neil has a fantastic mixed collection of old and new recording equipment with which he records his albums. Knowing this, and never having had any issues with the sound quality of digital music, I was a little mystified about Neil's comments. That was until I was at a garage sale on the weekend where his album Harvest was playing on a turntable. Old vinyl, crackling warm tones – there are just certain albums that play better by classic means.
So, do you prefer digital recordings over the classic vinyl recordings? What is your preferred method of listening to music?
