What's been your turntable ownership over the years?

I was raised on radio and records.  When the CD and digital music came about in the early to mid 80s, I went forward with that and never looked back.  I get that the turntable and records can, together, can constitute a musical experience (especially for old guys like me) but don't kid yourself into thinking that analog music reproduction can ever compete with Redbook or better.

So my turntable ownership since around 1991 is zero.  Just like film...some want it to still be better...but it just can't be.

Please.  Neither you nor I have been a member of this forum long enough to be telling other people what they can or cannot discuss.  

Yes, the formats are different.  My point was that the turntable/LP is more about "the experience:" grabbing an album, doing the sleeve thing, loading it on, cueing up, listening...watching it go round and round, listening to the "groove noise," drooling over the beautiful complexity (or simplicity) of your table, flipping after five tracks and doing it all over again.  There is none of that in digital playback.  But, if vinyl takes you to Nirvana, I get it.  But a well produced CD will always have better fidelity (freq response and dynamic range) that any LP no matter how well produced.
