Typically, the LPs I rip are favorites that are either not available on Qobuz, or are so sonically superior on LP that the digital copy is unlistenable. It's a tedious process if you want a quality result so I don't do it often. After all, it's not that much trouble to just put an album on the turntable and let it spin.
Vinyl rips - still worth it?
Streaming is getting better. Is it still worth it, to record vinyl to digital files?
I would like comments based on experience.
One basic issue should be mentioned. When you record a LP you are the owner of this recording. You can bring it along and play wherever you want. It is not just something you rent, like with streaming. You can play it regardless of an internet connection. And if your main system breaks down, or you get out of vinyl playback, you can still have a large library of your vinyl albums, in digital format.
Some factors are quite clear. The better the LP production and sound, the more value of a recording. The better your analog playback chain, and the recorder, the more value. The chance rises, that it will sound better than streaming.
Your experience is welcome.
My personal view is that, with fairly good LPs and a fairly good playback system and recorder, vinyl rips are still worth it.
