Oldaudiophile, You are not so old here. Many of us are antedeluvian and superannuated. In one of my two systems I am using Transmission Line woofer cabinets that I built in the early 1970s, when I was a medical intern. Mijo is only slightly younger.
There are certain things that vinyl will never do that digital does, both good and bad, and whether one prefers one or the other depends on how the individual listens and what the individual listens for, so I find such cost generalizations to be worthless when offered as advice. For me, $10K (phono stage, TT, tonearm, cartridge) in vinyl can get me up to the very best digital, but we listen differently. Neither of us is wrong.
