In a lot of cases guys bought into digital early on, and continued to progress with their digital setups. One day for some reason, maybe they wanted to convert a record to CD, or whatever, they pulled the turntable out of the closet. That's when they discovered that their old Dual sounded better than their brand new Krell transport and DAC. As time rocked on, the digital stuff found its way to the closet, and the turntable was exponentially upgraded, often to super analog setups. Most of us never bothered to look back as our records collections grew, and we probably never will.
Me? I never left vinyl. I tried the digital, but it never set me ablaze with enthusiasm.
