What percentage of digital vs. analog?

@mikelavigne 

Very well put. I agree with most everything you say. 
 I can accept “ignorance can be bliss,” but that excludes me from a lot of pleasure.

last several months i am spending less time messing with my system, enjoying summer and fall outside and busier with other things and hobbies, and when i listen i just put on nice music, i don’t think gear at all (have the system in a very happy place)

listening is now 100% streaming... but all the records and tt’s still are fun to look at!!!

I got out of vinyl about 15 years ago. My collection is substantial but all in CD’s. I’ve not let my computer into my music room (yet). My music is 80 percent classical, the remainder jazz. I’m retired and mostly at home. My system goes on at about 8AM and off at about 8PM. About 75% of the time on a local college FM station the rest from my ’sweet’ spot to specific recordings. I dumped vinyl, not because my system was not up to it, the recordings I favored were few and mostly from the 60’s +/-. (The good ones dwarfed digital in sonic qualities but were acquired before my choices acquired any sophistication. As time passed availability of vinyl of any quality became slim, digital was poor sonically, so I didn’t buy much new stuff until digital got some real legs in the 90’s and I started paying attention to new music and recordings. And that is what I do today, looking at new music/performances, etc. No regrets whatsoever. :-)

I'm 100% digital, baby!

LOL.

I have (literally) thousands of CD's, and that's all I listen to. I don't even have my streamer hooked up. I probably have 3000 Classical CDs.

I have friends with turntables, and some of them sound quite good. But the idea of getting out of my chair every 20 minutes to flip a record just turns me off.

Unless it is a REALLY crappy CD pressing, they just sound better (and honestly, we're talking less than 1% of all the CDs I own that I would put in that category).

The only thing I miss about vinyl is the cover art/liner notes.

I have a great analog and digital leg and a large collection of classical. There is no consistent difference between the two on my system. Both digital and analog sound fantastic… there are more high rez versions on like than in my collection although I have many audiophile pressings.

To split hairs occasionally a vinyl pressing of the same recording will sound a tiny bit better… but usually not. I believe this is dependent of the pressing number. The actually molds used to press vinyl can only produce a few hundred (?… whatever, it is limited) then they are replaced as they wear out. I believe the occasional vinyl that sounds better is from a pressing from a new mold. This would account from my observations.

Summary, which sounds better analog or digital is entirely dependent on your equipment… now. That wasn’t true twenty years ago… the finest digital couldn’t touch great vinyl equipment of that time and earlier.
