Is that root musical? The idea of doing without my favorite
recordings from the last quarter century, much of it music never
available on LP, is unthinkable to me. And then there are all the
reissues of music now nearly impossible to find or prohibitively
expensive on Lp or 78s.

There were people like this who, even late into the Lp era, insisted
on the superiority of 78s!

I have pretty decent analog equipment (Gyro SE + SME 309), but I still
find large-scale classical music better served on CD, and that
includes many originally analog recordings. I like pop on Lp, and
Jazz when I can afford it.
