Vinyl sounds better (shots fired)

Gee, I haven’t read a thread on this topic for almost 24 hours 

"High quality reproduction from vinyl is vastly more expensive than digital." A TRUE Urban Legend that is 1. bulls**t  2. A great excuse for not trying vinyl some "audiophiles" tell themselves... 

Be careful of playback systems that cost six figures. On youtube, there is a report of a double-blind listening test where audiophiles heard a phono preamp, cartridge, and a turntable costing $500,000 and a preamp, cartridge, and turntable costing $78. 40% of them thought the $78 system sounded better and had to be the $500,000 system. 

Be skeptical of cables costing $20,000.

There is a SET using 833A triodes selling for $480,000 which can be built wit some better parts from less than $2000 in parts purchased retail. 

Just because the price is undreamed of does not mean it will sound better to you. 

My audio system is set up for vinyl (6,000+ LPs). I do have a decent CD player (400 CDs). I have no streaming. 

I listen to streamed music on my cell phone or computer when I’m not in my audio room.
