Predominantly FLAC or CD run in the computer, mp3 when I have no flacs handy but during a sit back, toke and listen session I avoid 'em of course. DAC is outboard M-Audio Firewire Audiophile...

Since I resisted the conversion to CD until 1991, most of my stuff is still on LP. But most of my listening is on CD. And when CDs first hit it big, my LP collection skyrocketed at $1.99 each. Even stuff that I figured that I'd never find in a million years.

I'm still resisting the conversion to computer-based formats.

It'll be CDs for me, at least until I find a way of playing music from a PC that I'm happy with.

Vinyl is all well and good, but it always seems to me that you'd have to put in a whole lot of time and money to beat a good digital source.

First source - PC
Second source R2R, but mostly recorded from the PC, so I guess PC is 1 and 2.
Third source would be a toss up between vinyl and FM.

Seems like computer based has surpassed CD?

Wow - that's surprising to me. I didn't imagine 'computer based' was so popular.
I'm thinking of buying a Korg MR-2000 to store & play all my often listened to material.
It's the only digital player I like the design and operation of, but if someone has suggestions of similar products, I'd be glad to know of them.

What?

I think you have not experienced yet a good, clean, well recorded, well pressed LP record played on an excellent turntable.

A surprise awaits for you.
