As a confirmed vinylist, I always disliked the crude sound of first-generation CDs and I collected vinyl throughout the 80s and 90s.
Recently, I have converted many of my vinyl LPs to the 24/96 HR format.
The .wav files can be played directly via computer to hi-fi link, or used to produce DVD-Audio discs at various quality levels, or even down-sampled to produce great sounding CD/Rs.
Many vinylists should be able to listen to them without experiencing too many withdrawal symptoms.
The resulting files are a little harder and more "in-your-face" than vinyl, but they "grow" on you, becoming quite addictive after a while.
The captured information levels can be awesome, providing you use high quality vinyl, software and hardware.
I understand that you must retain ALL your viyl originals, have only one digital copy at any one time and never sell or give away any digital copies.
I could go on for a long time about compressed files, DAB radio and such, but I have resisted the urge.
