Is vinyl dead ?

Psychicanimal,
I wasn't joking him for having regenerators. I have the poor man's equivalent, Exact Power EP15A. The joke was spending major bucks to seperate digital from analog, then posting that digital was superior. That's truly funny.

Vader,
Like some other crazies, we love the sinner but we hate the sin! Feel free to tell us what you think of all this unsolicited advice.

Sean, I have been trying to attract flies for years. Appearantly I've been going about this all wrong. I tried the 'not bathing' an similar things. All I need is honey???

No way! I've been putting together a modest but sweet analogue system these last few months ( AR, Luxman, Thorens, Grado ). Bought a Simply Vinyl 180gm pressing of Gerry Rafferty's "City to City". Cued up "Right Down the Line". I had such a physical reaction to the vocal harmonies
that my jaw dropped. This from a $500 investment! The upgrade bug will bite me soon. Dead? HA!

Unfortunately for the people who pose this question, they simply have not heard what a high quality vinyl rig can do. The real sham in the audio industry is the overhyped digital media which has yet to surpass a quality recorded LP on a Hi-end system.

It truly amazes me how many people felt personally attacked by my post, and felt the need to attack me and my system for whatever reasons. (which by the way sounds outstanding, and was completely matched before purchase.)
The dealers I work worth allow me to design and build a system in thier showroom for me to listen before I purchased each piece. When I consider un upgrade, I am allowed to bring each component to my home and evaluate it in my system first.
I was simply trying to point out that I shop in some of the bigger dealers (Soundex, Overtures and so on) and these guys never have a functional vinyl rig to listen to because of lack of demand. Also, if vinyl was so popular your larger music stores would still carry albums....they dont!
And for Dougdecan I guess I need to explain the seperation of analoge from vinyl I was talking about my amp/preamp vs my cd/dvd player or dac. I guess he dosnt have the common sense to figure that one out!
