... and, fwiw, I am so glad that that splicing block is a distant memory.
Sonic Factory's Sound Forge (now owned by a different, marketing-oriented company) is now a mainstay for me.

Having lived through the various formats, my memory is pretty clear that LP's sounded way better than CD's, at least for much of the 1st decade of the CD. I say the greatest audio attribute of the LP was the presence the sound had....

Yes.
I remember back in the day here on this message board when a member gave me grief to espousing analog vinyl. That member posted a faked noise sample (one it admitted was fake) to highlight how bad vinyl was.
Yes, I will say that vinyl can have some surface noise problems, but really.
Just listen to the tunes from vinyl that I upload in the playlists here.
For example... the "1980's EP Singles (mostly 'new wave', mostly vinyl)" playlist.
YMMV ...

I have a couple of turntables that I'm using more lately than in decades.
The B&O needed a new cartridge, fortunately still can get ones new.
Had to get a preamp for the B&O since amps don't have phono inputs any more. Got one with a tube stage for fun.
The Technics linear I've had since high school. Needed to do a few repairs on it but it works well too.
The phono input for that is built into my Technics rack mount preamp.

A DJ on the radio station I like to listen to ( https://www.1071thepeak.com/ ) has said that he is listening to vinyl at home now. Of course, I doubt if that station has a turntable in their studio.
But they do broadcast, and note when they do, high resolution masters of the songs they play (usually 96/24 or greater).
If you're listening to their streaming, that won't matter. But I listen on my McIntosh tuner, and it sounds quite good.

Yeah, fortunately, I thought ahead and purchased a replacement stylus for my cartridge. Will it last through the remaining digitization I need to do? I wish I knew.
