Analog nose not in the air..

however, vinyl is still more convincing. don't get me wrong, when I bought a Sony NS500V SACD player ($169 new/sealed delivered when it was discontinued and a store sold me an open box for $200 that had the wrong remote. quickly returned for refund), not only did SACDs sound great, but all of my CDs sounded better by far due to filtration an upsampled frequency.

then, a copy of the MOFI Blues in Orbit by Duke Ellington was being circulated among some of us inmates by mail. being out of print, the then-current price was $100. i acquired a Classic Records Reissue of it for $30 so I A/B-ed them and as good as the SACD was (truly excellent), the LP beat it out by a small margin.

i agree that digital done right is as engaging as can be but "something" about LPs is more captivating.
