RE: I'm with Travis in this meandering debate...

I play vinyl because I have few thousand deeply-loved LP's. I can't afford to replace them with anything, don't WANT to replace them, and I like the way they've sounded my whole life. I'm here in VA to get the most out of that precious stash.

I copy all CD's in lossless files and play these back from my dedicated music-PC and, man, they sound good- relaxed and clean. Different than LP's? Sure- but I'm not making sweeping claims any longer. I stopped straining to hear the digital nastiness years ago and glad I did. Its like straining to listen to every little pop and tick on an LP, shouting "DAMNED inner-groove distortion!" every 23 minutes or so. It's not a path to musical peace and pleasure.

Vinyl-versus-digital debate has become an institution, heck it's an industry. Don't play into the hands of various meat-heads in the general press who've jumped on it or you'll appear quaint and amusing.
