Considering that I'm starting up a side business digitizing records (and
an assortment of tape formats) anywhere from 78's through 45/33, I've
been spending a lot of time up close and personal with vinyl. I was
there for the transition from vinyl to CD. Yes, some early CD's were
mastered for crap. But if it's done right, it's music without rumble and
edge warps and crackles and inner-track distortion.
I miss full-sized album art. I miss liner notes you can read without a
magnifying glass. I miss the sequencing of an LP where Side 2 starts out
with a secondary hit for an energy bump mid-album instead of the one- or
two-hit front-load then filler of a lot of recent CD's. But I don't
miss the hassles of vinyl.
I'm currently in the process of building my own record-washing and
vacuuming machine since that needs to be part of the routine for anyone
serious about archving and storing vinyl. I don't have to do that with
CD's.

In as much as vinyl disk music recordings, and particularly from those
recorded analogue, have an apparent sound quality superior to that
from DDD, ADD or AAD compact disks, is the visual output from scanned
film negatives superior to that obtained directly from digital cameras
OR is the appeal of film somewhat akin to the retro-attraction of
things old and romantic?
Just curious .

Welcome back, Richard.
BTW, I just got the new Zone-10 launched and have all your stuff just
waiting for upload.
And I'm shooting more and more film in the OMs.
