    I prefer vinyl I like to tailor my sound to what I like. I have more digital apple lossless music however and listen to that more often because it is easily accessible and 5/7 days I am either at work or in my car or out and about where my turntable cannot travel.

    Mostly hard drive based flac and then vinyl, which I have never been out of. Vinyl still gets the nod for best SQ here.

    A worthy goal is work to get the standard redbook sounding as good as possible. I don't want to depend on hi-res or DSD only, couldn't afford it.

    My preferred format is vinyl.
    However, I have some recordings on cassette tape, CD, and digital files. If you look at my signature, I have sources for all of these formats because not all music is available on every format. I have some recordings on multiple formats, and vinyl sounds better than the rest on my system.
    Main System:
    Proton AA-1150 ~ Yamaha C-4 ~ Furman Elite-15 DMi ~ Sennheiser HD600 ~ Monitor Audio Silver RS8 & FB210 ~ Martin Logan Dynamo ~ Teac R-919X ~ Marantz CD5003 ~ Squeezebox Classic ~ Music Hall dac25.2 ~ Dual 1229/Acutex M312 III STR ~ Music Hall mmf-5.1/Goldring 1012GX ~ Music Hall Cruise Control 2.0

    Home Theater:
    Vizio V585-H11 ~ Yamaha RX-V800 ~ Furman Elite-15 DMi ~ Marantz DV6001 ~ EPI M90 ~ Polk Audio RT35i ~ CS400i ~ (2) Polk Audio PSW450

    Actually the latter two look like pretty sound advice to me, in the abstract.
    The first one might be, too - but without more context I cannae say with certainty.

    Re: trolling - I've never understood why folks post to troll threads. Never.
