To venture back into vinyl or not,...that is the question.

Not.

Save your money. I get the nostalgia part, but other than that vinyl is less accurate, noisy, inconvenient, a space hog, and an incredible waste of money compared to streaming. I'd find a hobby that makes more sense from a cost/benefit ratio. Or invest the savings.

This coming from someone who grew up with vinyl and got rid of hundreds of LPs thirty years ago. Why go backwards? My whole system is now voice-controlled. It's accurate, takes no space and is the epitome of convenience. You wouldn't go back to an avocado refrigerator and pastel bathroom, would you?

mijostyn,

On the contrary. The money I don't waste on vinyl goes to many romantic dinners with the significant other. See, that's how cost/benefit analysis works.

unreceivedogma,

I discount subjective opinion. But remastering of an old recording isn't a good analogy. And remasterings are hit-and-miss anyway. Even remastering of modern digital recordings. However, there is no grittiness to a digital recording. That is related to all the digital conversion myths.
(good example here)

I think that even most vinyl aficionados agree that their preference for vinyl has to do with its deficiencies and in some cases an album's original mastering (vs. CD's loudness wars). The technical advantage of digital is undeniable. Whether you prefer the deficiencies of vinyl or an individual mastering more is subjective.
