My dad's 1980s vinyl collection sounds better than any streaming playlist I've made
Last week I pulled out his old copy of Fleetwood Mac's Rumours from a box in the basement and listened to it on a cheap turntable. The hisses and pops actually made the drums feel more alive than the clean digital version on Spotify. I've spent 3 years building playlists and none of them hit like that one album on side A. Has anyone else noticed older recordings just have more soul to them?

Honestly, those vinyl pops and crackles just hit different than clean digital.

Used to be all about digital, thought vinyl was just a gimmick. Then @elliotm57 said something similar and it got me thinking. Finally tried an old pressing of Rumours and the warmth and little imperfections actually made it feel more alive. Can't go back now.

You ever had a friend spend more time cleaning a record than listening to it?
