As an audiophile, I can nderstand what drives these folks.
The bitter reality is that-by the time we can afford these systems-our hearing ability has declined.
Some audiophiles buy a new vinyl pressing, play it once while digitally recording it, and never play the disc again. (They keep the vinyl as a trophy) Even with all the vinyl care products, the sound will eventually degrade.
For the same reason I gave up pipesmoking (pipecleaners, humidors, reaming tools, etc.), I've gone entirely digital in my playback equipment. And if it isn't at least 96/24, I won't listen.
