What album have you bought in the most different formats.
One more format would have been the short lived video disc, not sure about music on them.  I was not trying to make this a contest, LOL.  It is more about a favorite piece of music and evolution of formats over time.  Being 72, I have been buying ... 
What album have you bought in the most different formats.
Wheels of Fire vinyl, upon release and 3 more times sue to life circumstances

I would also mention the best sounding, to me at the time, was the dedicated 4 channel R2R.  Having seen them in concert on that tour, it captured the moment.  I later abandoned that format due to lack of product.In retrospect, too many pieces nee... 
Article: "Spin Me Round: Why Vinyl is Better Than Digital"
There way too many variables within this argument.  I started out in the late 60’s with decent separates, and the only choices were turntables, then reel to reel for recording LPs.  Eight tracks were never considered, due to performance issues.Fas...

Honest Amp Reviews: Impossible?
One of the fundamental conditions of being an “audiophile” is having strong opinions regarding sound and its reproduction.  Each individual has preferences as to what sounds good to them as well as being influenced by many external inputs with reg...

I have to add Gregg Allman, he could sing the blues as both a young man in 1971 when I saw him and later in life as the band changed guitarists.   
If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?
I have seen many of the icons, most were "On" when I saw them in the late 60's, early 70's.  Two stand out the most.Janis Joplin with Full Tilt Boogie played Frankfurt in 1970.  After a terrific set she said they had to do it all again for German ...

Want to setup basic home audio system
Look for high efficiency speakers as that minimizes your need for a high powered amp.  Good luck n your journey! 
Sam here and this goes much deeper than i ever thought.
Why do I think someone here owns a tin foil hat? 
1.7i vs 3.5r
If you have the room and sufficient amplification, 3.6r would be a great affordable choice.
