It is never to late to start a record collection and remember when you buy a record, you own it for life.
Digital is convenient, but if you want to experience emotion in music and that illusion of real sound, what the term High Fidelity is all about, then you can't beat a good analogue front end matched to a good Hi-Fi system.
Very well put. Absolutely agree, from my experience. Digital, particularly when well mastered is eminently listenable, and for those who do not wish to get into the undeniable faff of unsleaving, handling, and anti-static-ing their vinyl, then it's a good second best, but when you've heard vinyl done well, you realise that there's a higher fidelity format, which has been around years before digital was invented. Only ever had that hairs on the back of the neck response when listening to vinyl.
Now I think I'll have a listen to one of my cd's😉
