It's a classic debate, nature vs nurture, vinyl vs cd? I own a decent cd player (Naim 5XS) and digital is essential for accessing contemporary recordings. All my favorite music was originally released on vinyl.
I mostly listen to jazz music recorded in the 1950s - music that is simply not on cd or not easy to find anywhere. Often, owning the record is the only way to hear the music. Also, I prefer to listen to the format in which the music was recorded. Exile on Main Street or Revolver has to be on vinyl for my maximum enjoyment - I don't care how good the digital source is. State of the art vinyl playback - turntable, arm, cartridge & phonostage starts at 30K but truly good performance can be had for under 2K.
