I know it all boils down to personal taste, but as a "developing" audio aficionado, I like the idea of both vinyl and digital files. When I consider that legitimate recordings on vinyl can be found for $1-$5, but I don't think most high-end digital recordings can be found for less than $10, my opinion tends toward the LP. Am I missing something here? In the end, I want a good setup that produces good sound with good recordings and reproduction. I'm not too concerned with "looking cool" with whatever format I choose (though I admit that the glow from a tube amp is as irresistible to me as a bug zapper with a mosquito...:-)
