I think the Vinyl is horseshit, when you can have DSD nowadays.
Just IMHO. nothing else.
Follow Ups:
at those who sold their vinyl and repurchased their music on CDs. There's a hell of a lot worse places for an audiophile to be today than with a lifetimes collection of clean vinyl and a digital recorder.
What's bullshit in my opinion is some sorry assed sap rebuying remasters of the same music for the 6th time in a 4th format under the guise of better sound.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
I agree totally about the remasters.... Most of the time, I prefer the original over the remaster.
It's not manure if you factor in the tactile aspect and the pleasure of admiring a nice mechanical contraption. Insofar as the sound quality, it's always an uphill climb to find proper pressings and friction will always get the better of records in time.
The jackets are so great though I would buy them and put the proper CD/SACD in there and read liner notes and look at cover art with glee and not a magnifying glass.
I love the hipsters and their Crosley Cruisers though as the are like a real live snippet of Portlandia.
I just don't get recorded music with no material support to hold and am still intrigued as to how many hard drives one will need to buy over the years to back-up music files. I have had a few hard drives fail over the years and wonder if they are now less prone to failure.
I've been at this hobby for about 45 years and our digital playback sources and systems sound much, much better to these ears...

These guys apparently didn't get the memo (link) .....
By the way, I'll never go off on anyone who prefers digital over vinyl, high-rez over CD, etc. .... I might disagree, but it's happy disagreement.
heard the guy talk about his B&O Turntable.
It "sounds different" he said of Vinyl. Yes, I agree, if you got it from a good analogue tape, some still record that way to the Vinyl.
I think the depersonalization comments of buying music is indeed correct, I grew up around CD, the booklets and later on the artwork in the form of cd jewel cases, made of paper, etc.. made the music experience personal.
It is not so much that it is non personal now which is a bummer, the lack of physical music stores is the thing that kills me. Only 10 years ago a friend of mine and I would make our monthly venture out to the music store and buy 20 or 30 cds a piece, now that is not possible, and amazon or what have you is all we got left. the thrill of waiting for something in the mail is all we got.
In Auckland, we still have record stores and they are busy! Real Groovy recently expanded its lp section by about 30%, from what I can see. All the musos I know continue to support them assiduously for both used and new lps and, increasingly CDs too.
Keep the faith.
