When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better?

Of course I know my own story, so I'm more curious about yours. You can be as succinct as two bullets or write a tome.

I did the due diligence to improve my digital play back . I am using a Mac Mini as a server and sending my digital out AOIP to a pro audio converter and re clocking it a couple of times and I have the holography and texture thing going on . And yes it sounded so good it beat out my SL1200 MK 5 TT set up . So I upgraded that as well to a SP10 MK2 with a 12 " arm and a new Audio Note R02 phono stage . Yes they both sound great . I have a large digital music library . I don't have room for all those LPs . All I can say is the digital can sound as good if not better then the vinyl if you handle it right .I love both formats and will enjoy a larger collection of music to suit my mood .

The other word of caution is that USB is a problem if not implemented right . The three keys to great digital are NOS DAC , clean power and the quality of the clock .
