One of those statements I cannot follow anymore. I stilll have my Transrotor/SME and Thorens TD 124 turntables along with about 2000 LPs but I think that when it comes to pure diving into the music they have no chance against my CD setup. All this hissing and cracking, all this hassle with cleaning the bloody LPs, this rushing up every 20 minutes for turning the disc..... In fairness we are comparing excellently edited material here, right? I keep my vinyl just because I have it for almost all my life and there's some pretious stuff among the collection but for serious listening I much prefer the digital setup in a true high end (tube) system.
