Digital LP’s

+1 jji666. Part of the bad reputation of CD arises because a lot of the ADCs and DAC's in the early days of CD weren't capable of true 16 bit resolution. Since then there have been significant improvements in converter and filter design that have led to improved sound from CD.

A lot of so-called High Rez recordings don't have the frequency response or dynamic range to need 24/96 resolution in the first place. Some do and I enjoy them for that.  But to speak to your reference to "care", they are often more purist recordings where the quality of the engineering is probably a bigger determinant of their sound quality than whether they are 16/44 or 24/96.

For the life of me I don’t know why someone would want to listen to a digital file that has been converted to an analog wave form , embedded in a slab of petroleum, and then extracted with a glorified sewing needle slashing its way through the grooves of that slab.  Makes more sense to listen to digital files with digital playback equipment 

^Because it's higher rez and sounds better than cd.

I buy plenty of audiophile analog that goes through no digital processing at all. Just see all the stuff they have at Acoustic Sounds, for starters. Lots of pure analog there.

Save your money.The older you get the worst your hearing will be.I have never needed a lp that cost over 69 bucks.Plus,I'm 72 now.I walk alot.When I'm done.i pick out a cd of who I want to hear and hear it start to finish without having to get up and flip and clean my lp.I have over 1500 LPS 4,000 cds.Of classic Rock.that is all I need.Let the younger people go out and buy  $100 records.I go to the thrift and buy $1.00 Cds and only buy none scratched one's only.And yes I can hear the difference between a good recorded cd or cheap aftermarket ones.
