I've recently been bitten by the vinyl bug. I was given a Marantz 8B and I repaired a Rega P3 that was dirt cheap. Built a Marantz 7 clone, stepped attenuator, and a decent opamp phono stage.
My CD's sound harsh now. The SACD's and DVD-A's. No game. But keeping everything in working order is a real fuss! Their is something to be said about the convenience of digital media and the good quality that you can get for small bucks.
If you've got a dumpy turntable, worn out cartridge and records, wimpy phono stage, etc. Yeah vinyl isn't going compete with the ruggedness and consistence of digital.
I'm sure if I had a better digital source my opinion could be changed.
