Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion HiFi & HT Chat Does Vinyl still have its place?

I use LP a lot because of repertoire and performances. I still buy them, for the same reason.

I am however 100% convinced that there is no sonic benefit, and try to resist the undeniable tactile pleasure because it's really a red herring. The performance, and its accurate reproduction, is what I'm really interested in.

Something often said when CD came out is that it dramatically reduced the cost of reasonably good sound reproduction. This is even more the case now. I suspect that getting a turntable with serious pitch stability (essential for piano...) is even more expensive now than then.
