I appreciate the convenience of digital. Case in point, just sitting at home in the den, I can program just about whatever I want, without having to pull records, turn the side over, deal with cueing to hear or omit specific songs. I can easily create playlists for dinner parties etc. I can jump from artist to artist, song to song at will. Sonics are acceptable, and sometimes quite good. I listen to digital through either a Marantz SR7009 HT receiver, or a Bluesound Node 2 DAC Streamer. The former can accept DSD, the later is limited to 24/192. Both are good enough to hear differences between formats, conversion quality and if content resolution is native or upsampled.
On the other hand there are times when I want the full experience; to allow the music to wash over me, to envelope me. And for that, it is always vinyl through tubes.
My conversion equipment is: AR ES-1/ Shure V15VMR / Musical Fidelity a3.2 integrated amp (with very a very good phono stage) / ASUS Xonar ADAC converting at 24/192 / HP Win 7 laptop / Vinyl Studio.
I can create Redbook CDs of vinyl rips that sound better than purchases CDs of the same material.
But to answer your question; YES there are times when you should "Whip It Out"
I accept PayPal.
Best,
Ross
