Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it

I'm standing here on the vinyl cliff,peering over the edge...I had a TT in the eighties & nineties, an AR with the Underground Sound mods by George Merrill from Memphis, TN. It got destroyed in a series of moves, and my vinyl disappeared. I have a perfectly good CD player(Denon 1650AR),EAD PM2000 amp & EAD Ovation plus prepro, & thiel 2.3's. I would need a phono preamp before I could run whatever TT I obsess over enough to buy, as the Ovation has no phono stage. Push me over, or save me! mb

My response is biased since i never really got into CDs. THe few that I have owned are typically trashed in less than one year where as I have albums I have owned since 1972 and play some vinyl that is almost 70 years old. I know you can keep CD's better than I took care of them, and CD's or tapes are more mobile than vinyl but oooh the sound is so much better and as my daughter says, vinyl is personal. you must get involved(clean, put arm on record, flip the sides, etc). Is it worth the effort, by allmeans
