Vinyl or wait for the new stuff??


I was wondering whether to dive into the world of Vinyl or wait for the new format to settle. You see, I have not listened to vinyl for more than 20 years now. I have all rated A equipment and cables and good collection of Audiophile and not so Audiophile CD. Recently I have been thinking of taking a dive into the world of Vinyl. However, knowing myself, I will not be satisfied unless I get some highend stuff which will cost me some serious amount of money. Not to mention that I have to start my collection of software. So my question here for you guys who want to help. Shall I make the move or just wait for the SACD/DVDA ? your input would be much appreciated.

I've read a lot of good responces and thought I'd add mine. I do have CD's....but I use them in the car only. When I listen to music at home, its vinly all the way baby!
There is a warmth that digital just does not "reproduce" well to my ears. Not to mention the vast aray of historic recordings that will never make it onto a newer format. I'm 47 years old and theres something about playing a record that was pressed when I was a child...or my father was a child...and I'm the first in many years to hear music come from that disk....Its like opening a time capsule every time I listen. I don't think anyone could say that about a CD. I for one would HIGHLY recomend going vinly....skys the limit as to what you will find and hear.
I just recently began to sort/archive my 400+ vinyl's, and find it quite stimulating to revisit my formative years. (more like hell-raising)

Tough decision, as I am also at that crossroads of having a good mix of CD and LP material. Personally, I am just filling in the gaps on my "favorites" list, and replacing those that are no longer "playable".

You may also want to consider finding those vinyl products that ARE NOT available on disc.
Vinyl is just a ton of fun to mess with, from collecting, listening to perfecting the system. I could not live without it now. It can be expensive, but for $2,000 - $3,000 you can get yourself a very respectable and satisfying rig.
Vinyl is still king when it comes to ultimate realism. Once you experience a proper setup tailored to your system you will wonder how you lived without it all these years! Happy hunting!
