Vinyl - One Word - WOW!!

I have heard owned recordings from either CD/Vinyl used as a FLAC/WAV File, sent through a router/network to a Media Player.

I can't think of anything better, the Performers get there monies as a fair remuneration from the Recorded Hard Medium sale.

The Owner of the Hard Medium who has chose to produce s File Storage, get value for money, especially if purchased used (recycled/upcycled), certainly the produced file is another bite of the cherry and can have music at the system or all over the house if support for this is in place.

This does not rely on the New Model Data Centres, that can be seen from Space as the New Scars on the Land. Which come with the need to empty reservoirs and suck power plants dry, pumping out out into the waterways and atmosphere who knows what between the Power Supply and Data Centre.

A Subject certainly not for a open transparent discussion by any Government or Members of the Plutocracy to have a questions and answers aired in a Public Inquiry.

Welcome to the club. I'm sure you'll find it a slippery slope in many ways. Equipment tweaking, treasure seeking, and aural euphoria. But don't give up on digital. If anything, the format can help you find good and bad vinyl. I don't konw that you need to spend 10s of 1000s of dollars to improve your listening experience. I mean you can but if you're starting out you don't want to have buyer's remorse about a piece of equipment that can't make a bad recording sound good.

I've found that when I buy vinyl vs digital (CD or HRes Files) it's very much about the release date and the matter in which it was recorded. Learning how to tell the difference between an original/second pressing vs a decades later remastering.

I have original jazz pressing I got from my father that I have duplicates of on CD and they both have places in my music collection. And sometimes I find digital to be better than vinyl for newer releases. It's all part of the hobby that goes beyond casual listening.  I know a guy that has remained committed to 8-track for decades because he loves the sound and even has a deck in his car.

Project was the brand that brought me back to vinyl for a while. I didn't stay, but I learned some respect for what a good LP playback rig can do. 

Great hearing this! There is nothing like a good sounding record, nothing. I do not have an expensive setup but sure love your excitement! I remember 35 years ago, cant remember when.  I heard a record really good for the first time. Is fun. By the way, you can do it on the cheap if you find good used table and match up the cartridge correctly to your phono-stage. A huge difference for me was getting a decent phono-stage . Big difference in sound and that is just with MM. Enjoy the sound.
