I'm reading those anti-digital rants and I think by myself...

what are these guys talking about? I'm connecting my transport directly to my speakers (which include digital signal processing), so the chain can't be shorter and can't be more digital. Still I don't understand all the objections/problems/nasties that people describe w.r.t digital. I don't hear all that stuff, when I like the tunes, I enjoy them, be the source analog or be it digital.

Competent vinyl guys are guys like Stan Ricker, who know about the downsides of vinyl at the recording end, which includes the technical compromises the format knows. How old is Stan? All those techie guys who were playing the game 25 years ago are now 25 years older, they won't be here forever.

And further, if I recall correctly, recording gear is no longer built, so when parts break, they use old machines as source for replacement. Maybe the machines leave vinyl city before the guys.
