I had LPS that I bought on 8 trac and then had to buy on cassette and finally on CD. I like digital.

George Harrison said that his music sounded better on vinyl records than on digital media.

btw, CD is 16-bit digital

In sound quality - best to worse...

Studio master tape
24-bit digital file
Vinyl
CD
MP3 (8-bit)

I've heard studio master tape of Sinatra & Doobies - unbelievably lifelike and light years better than #2

I also have an acetate cut directly from the master tape using a $30k 300B vacuum tube amplifier - easily the version of vinyl I've ever heard.

Today's true, 24-bit/192/384khz digital files gets REALLY close to the studio master tape
