The BLISS of returning to ANALOG: my experience

I was an early adapter: I jumped into CD with the very first $1,000 players came out.
I bought all the CDs, replacing my LPs.
I lived this way for almost 20 years. No LPs.
Recently I was given the oppertunity to buya collection of LPs (over 900). They were cheap and I decided to take the leap into vinyl, even though I didn't have a TT, nor even a pre-pre to run to my line level preamp.
I found a Audio Research PH-1 and borrowed a TT.
I have been scouring the second hand stores and after about 4 months have nearly 3,000 LPs. (most not yet listened to)
I clean them, then play them.
Tonight I listened to Simon and Garfunkel Bookends and side two was a revelation. (a clean two eye copy 1E 1F markings)
CDs NEVER sound like this!!!
My Sony SACD SCD-777ES sits unused!
