I've been collecting vinyl again recently to replace many of the CD's I bought that just Don't measure up to the old analog recordings.
If any of you don't think there is a Huge difference then you just haven't really listened to a proper set up.
I could fill this thread with albums that have never been equaled when they were converted to 16-44 CD format. In fact many audiophiles who do collect both prize the very first CD's released because they were "honest" transfers, with no messing about with the original, unlike the travesty of the loudness wars/constant remasters that seem to be flooding the market now.
I truly regret both selling many of my old vinyl records, and the ones that were lost in a fire that are irreplaceable, with the technological improvements today for cleaning them and the amazing phono-stage preamps that are out there you can get into vinyl again without spending a fortune.
I went all in with the digital craze, including $1,000's on state of the art electronics to get the best results possible, and collecting 1,000's of CD's as well.
Vinyl is making a comeback here, there are some fabulous online shops too that have a very good selection, I have almost finished getting my "Must Haves" now.
As a result I will be selling off or trading in my CD copies once I have the vinyl in the house.
DVD's/Blu-Ray are far better formats, looking back I wished I had waited 10 years and skipped CD's altogether and just got 24-96 or 24-192 studio quality recordings instead.
