Your "eureka" digital moment

I got into digital in 86 or 87. Very conveniant but I never gave up on vinyl. Digital was ok but something did not "make sense" musically. Until 2001 when I bought a second hand meridian 508.24. Then digital made sense. No, not a perfect player (dynamics were polite) but oh what a listenable player. That was when I finally got digital.

Well, I can chime in- I started this thread. Yes, I love vinyl, no, snap crackle and pop only works for cereal (but a clean record helps) and I bought my VPI cleaning machine second hand for $325

I think my eureka moment came when I discovered Spotify.  I already had a system I loved the sound of, which couldn't have been simpler - computer connected to integrated with built in dac running to speakers. So only 3 components including the computer, and only two cables, USB & speaker cables.   Realizing that for $10 per month I had instant access to 20 million songs through that simple system was my eureka - so much music and so few components required to bring it to life.  Simple + variety is a nice combination.
