It’s a very personal decision, but growing up my experience with LP was not so good.
I had to dust it off often and do the manual operation in order to play it every time. I hated it.
No, I REALLY hated the fact that I had to get up and change each LP manually.
When CD was in full swing, I got rid of all my LPs.
Yes, I used the 300 Sony DVD changer, but still I was not happy
with disc maintenance (like scratches etc) and search limitation.
When the MP3s came out I ripped all my CDs and got rid of all the CDs.
Now it has been a while since I have been slowing building
lossless formats (flac, ape, alac) collection, I guess I have enough to play for 100 years.
AND YES, I love my DAC and my music collection which I can instantly search for an album or song.
Do I regret selling all my LPs and CDs?
Hell NO!
I NEVER miss the analog phones with dials.. DO YOU?
I NEVER miss the film camera..DO YOU?
I will NOT miss my Porsche with all the combustion engines
since I NEVER enjoyed the MAINTENANCE portion of it,
I just WANT to DRIVE all day long.
I HATE the combustion engine MAINTENANCE EXPERIENCE,
I just put up with it because of DRIVING EXPERIENCE.
YES, I will jump all over it when electric Porsche becomes main stream.
To me, LPs and CDs are like ANALOG PHONES and FILM CAMERAS...
JUST OUTDATED...
WHEN was the last time your favorite artist recorded and released in LP ONLY?
Probably LONG AGO... NOT ANYTIME SOON...
BTW, does this mean I hate old tech?
NO, I use TUBE as main and SOLID STATE as sub...
