> ...you might also consider converting your own vinyl to digital.

Yes, if you like the sound of vinyl and the convenience of digital,
this might be the best of both worlds. (Although the **process** of
digitizing the vinyl might be pretty daunting unless you enjoy
that sort of technical noodling around.)

It is a curious fact that even critical analog listeners (like, say,
Michael Fremer) have commented that a good digitization of a vinyl
source -- even at CD's resolution of 16 bits and 44.1 kHz -- can
preserve most if not all of the sound of vinyl playback -- even
the distinguishing sound of cartridges and turntables.

See, e.g., the review of the Wadia 17 A/D converter from 12 years ago:

or Fremer's review of the Alesis MasterLink ML-9600 hard disk
recorder from 2002:
