I love vinyl, and have thousands of records. I think I prefer records, partly because some of them sound so amazing (the mofi 45rpm series and the Music Matters blue note 45rpms are incredible)
That said, in the past few years i’ve really fallen for SACDs on my system, particularily the Analogue Productions Blue Note and Prestige reissues. Perhaps it’s the combination of them through my tube system (McIntosh MC275, C2200 and Harbeth speakers), but it really sounds amazing - in that way that makes you shake your head and smile.
One last note: I ended up buying a Sweet Vinyl Sugar Cube unit. Remarkably good at cleaning up noise vinyl. Been really enjoying that.
