I was never enamored with the sound of LPs from my earliest days. Yet there were some TTs that I thought sounded great and others that I just didn't like they way they sounded. When CDs came out in the 80s I didn't like them and it wasn't until late 90s or early 2000s that I decided a CDP was needed so I could listen to records not released on vinyl. I tried many CDPs and bought a few and eventually got attached to the music on some of those CDs and they became a part of my regular playlist.But it really wasn't until I started collecting free lossless live music downloads and digitizing my collection of LPs (initially for portable music players) that I really began to appreciate digital as high quality source. I'm relatively new to lossless streaming and that has only bolstered my opinion on digital.
I have the same TT/arm/phono section and am on my 3rd or 4th Dynavector XX2 cart in the same vinyl setup I put together 20 years or so. And I enjoy playing LPs on it as much or more than ever. My collections consist of 2000+ LPs, 400+ CDs and around 300 lossless concert downloads (FLAC) and I have "relationships" with music on all of it.
It's cool that people love their vinyl or that people are all about AAA recordings. I have lots of respect for that. I'm not so fond of the vinyl ritual, it's often an obstacle for me when it comes to playing an album (or a random play of music) and listening to digital can and does provide good listening experiences for me. IMO it's the quality of the source material and the playback system that are the biggest influencers on the quality of the listening experience for me.
