Yet I play vinyl, it to me still sounds better than any digital audio playback format.....

Although I again stress with a caveat, as long as the vinyl rig is set up correctly.... Which is no easy task.

And next to vinyl (not including open-reel tape), I prefer the sound of "obsolete" physical Redbook CDs, over any newer playback format.......

I'd love to utilize the latest in audio playback technologies..... But to me, I haven't found much correlation between sonic presentation and the "newness" of the technology. I just don't get comparable musical satisfaction with the newer technologies.....

Some might prefer using the latest technologies.... But for me, sonic presentation/sound quality/musical satisfaction is still King.

Vive la difference!!

I used to do Vinyl. I don't necessarily call it 'obsolete', as the people that I know that still spin Vinyl, confess that they like the 'ritual' of Spinning a Vinyl disk. They admit to me that listening to Qobuz is equal in sound.... But when you have a $12 Grand Turntable, and $5 Grand record cleaning machine, you gotta use it!

I compare this to a Wood burning Fireplace. Although heating a home with a Wood Burning Fireplace is not the best way. I certainly understand the 'ritual' of lighting a fire and sitting in front of it's warmth. I would not try to convince people to get rid of their fireplace or turntable for that matter...

Myself, I am all done with Vinyl, as well as wood burning fireplaces. I will admit to loving my Remote controlled, instant on Gas Fireplaces. I have two of them !!
