I love good digital and also love good vinyl. They sound different, each with its own virtues and faults. I have friends who love vinyl and also friends who don't own a turntable. It's really about what we respond to on an emotional level. I don't know why we turn audio into a contest between formats. Especially in the music forum. I listened last night to some recordings from the 1930's and they were thrilling even in not very good sound. We need to put more emphasize on the music. AT the CES I was speaking with a gentleman who was raving about the sound of a certain system. I asked him what his favorite piece of music was and he couldn't answer me. How sad

There is a Hi-Rez forum for discussing the magic of hi-rez audio.
There is a Vinyl forum for discussing the magic of vinyl playback.
Music Lane is (I thought) the forum for discussing the music, not arguing about formats.
Because, after all, in the end, it's whether you enjoy listening to it. Every person has their own route to enjoyment. This is not a moral issue pertaining to right and wrong. Nor is it a political issue where votes decide the winner. Nor us it about scientific measurement. Music is a psychological/emotional experience. As we used to say back in the day -- "Whatever turns you on, man, it's groovy."
That said, I've got thousands if CDs, SACDs, LPs, DVDs, BluRays ...... and my collection encompasses a lot of composers and recordings that most people have never heard of.
I could probably (well, maybe) create a list of the music I like listening to the most. But one favorite? Nope. No chance. And that top 25 would probably (likely) change week to week.
"Life without music is a mistake" (Nietzsche)
. . . on that guy's inability to say what his favorite piece of music was. If you ask a lot of musicians the same question, many of them will answer that it's the piece they've played most recently - I've heard that answer on a number of interviews, usually in regard to Mozart piano concertos. ;-)
You are probably right. I was thinking of a politician that got raked over the coals because she could not name any book she had read
