"At the end of the day, it just comes down to enjoying your favorite tunes regardless of the medium."
Vinyl/turntables are the embodiment of analog where as other sources need to be treated with DAC’s to get back to analog sound. I can’t hear a difference with a good DAC treated source(s) verses Vinyl on my way to not being able to hear too well anyway.
Vinyl was/is "roots"....so many fell in love w/ "Hifi" via Vinyl.
I would be interesting to know the average age of folks here to see if the percentage of Vinyl aficionados goes up with age? My bet would be for the higher the age the greater percentage of Vinyl and stalwart Vinyl users.
I don't love or hate Vinyl but it requires patience (tinkering/maintenance on a far greater scale than CD's or streaming) and considerable costs over 'dah others.
