MFSL had a big controversy recently, when it came to light that most of their output is sourced from digital transfers of the master tapes versus being an all analog path.
I enjoy the tangible experience of vinyl. I don't know if my ears and gear are good enough to tell the difference in source. What do y'all think.

@tonymasiello Old enough to remember when everyone threw their vinyl out because CDs sounded so much better.
Rant: Vinyl records are bulky, expensive, and sound a little worse each time you play them. Streaming services can drop an album any time. Amazon and Apple don't sell you music - they sell a revocable license to listen to it. Disc rot is negligible next to hard-drive failure. CDs are the best way to own music.
@Copperdomebodhi Also old enough... I started buying vinyl records when I was ten. A few got given away or 'borrowed', but I still have most of them.
Still have my CDs too for that matter, they've been ripped and stored away in milk crates. Nothing against digital here. I still buy lossless downloads, have a large digital library on my NAS, but I mostly avoid CDs unless it's something I really want and there are no alternatives. But yeah, I totally get what you are saying...
