Is Vinyl Worth It

"LP's were programmed as two separate sides, the songs and their relationship to the other songs on their one side being a complete experience unto itself. "

I've never questioned its worth. Music is life for me. Always has & will be. I'm thankful I have been this lucky enough to
have had it - up to this point - in my life. There are many things I have not been so lucky with....

- Don't obsess about your rig. Don't do it! Don't you do it! (Spend your money on more important things!! Like the best
vinyl pressings there is of your favorite music (this can take a lot of personal time, effort and yes money).
- But most important: Enjoy the music! All ways.

YES !!!!!!

What I'm beginning to dislike is having to clean more vinyl since many come pressed on two discs versus just one, plus there is less music recorded on each side. Dislike or not, I'm still going to purchase and enjoy. Bought a couple more lp's just today while out and about.

I remember a demonstration that Andy Singer conducted at the NY Stereophile show about 5 years ago with an outstanding system flanked by a DCS stack and a Basis turntable playing the same classical music selections on vinyl and cd. I believe he was attempting to demonstrate the outstanding qualities of the DCS stack. Instead it only demonstrated to me how far digital had to go. The tonality, decay of notes, timbre, dimensionality were far superior on vinyl. I know that cd and hi-res has come a long way in the last 5 or so years, but I am still waiting for the day when any digital format matches or surpasses vinyl. Could MQA be that step? Will it be close enough? As good or better than vinyl? Or just another hdcd-type improvement of degrees.
