Is double blind testing the basis of all of your system choices? Can you consistently identify each component? Pressings?

No! None of my system choices have been based on double blind testing or any other kind of blind testing. In fact, I've never participated in a double blind test. However, I have made hundreds of digital copies of my vinyl LPs and I listen to digital copies of LPs much more frequently than I listen to LPs played on a turntable. The copies sound the same to me.
Best regards,

Just wondering that if I get my favorite LP music and put it on digital media, maybe I would listen to it more often.
One thing that bothers me is that the results come out different with each play, for both digital AND analog!
With LP playback (being mechanical in nature), it is distinctly possible that things may sound different from listening session to listening session given the variations in ambient temperature etc.
This is far less likely with digital playback unless the electronics in your particular are prone to drift even after the internal case temperature has stabilised. Normally electronic drift is irrelevant after a few minutes from switch on.
Any other variations you hear will be undoubtedly related to mood...and the number of drinks consumed since the start of the listening session! (In my case....)

I don't think that has any bearing on digital recording of vinyl. Of course, I don't hear this in my system, but if that's what you hear, how would digitizing vinyl have any bearing on it? ;-)
I find this too (in a subtle way to be sure), but I've always chalked it up to factors such as changes in listening position (maybe I'm slouching in my chair!), temperature, humidity, my own psychology. . . ;-)
That's fine, not my experience. Maybe I'll record some more and try it again.
