That is so true, and it also holds for changes in technology.  To this day,
a phantom impulse remains that makes me want to "turn the LP over" whenever
I reach a certain passage in CD performances of Strauss's "Also sprach
Zarathustra" and Beethoven's "Eroica." I realize that this is because I
listened so often to my vinyl recordings of Karajan/Vienna and
Leinsdorf/Boston, respectively!
