In fact, there's the answer; why bother with vinyl when CD is so much cheaper and if there is no sonic difference in your system then indeed, what would be the point. A tenner versus twenty six quid....?

True.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

That was me being tactful, you should have seen the post I did write but deleted. I will add it to my growing pile of nutty reasons people prefer vinyl, though. A published list will soon be available in the foyer.LOL, you have such subtle tact

Well, Martin's the caring sort... Did you not know he had a job with the Samaritans?LOL, you have such subtle tact
Unfortunately, he was sacked because he got a call from a man saying he was about to kill himself, by lying in front of an express train, due any minute.
And all he said to him was "stay on the line" !!!!!

Don't worry folks they couldn't prove anything and had to let me walk.
Have to just say I am sat here now listening to AC/DC High Voltage on CD through a Sony XB930E QS UK SE that was £130 off of eBay and it is sounding superb. Yes I also have the vinyl LP. It's maybe a little more fun on the LP, a little less like listening to a recording and more like hearing them live. But I want it to sound like a recording of a band playing, not them playing live in my living room. I completely understand why some prefer the latter.
