I typically don't do this, but I treated myself to the remastered vinyl edition of Sweet Baby James on Rhino/Warners. Read some nice things about it, and I've always loved that album, so I splurged (Merry Christmas to me). I've still got a working turntable, but I almost never use it. I just sampled a few cuts, but it does sound pretty great. It really does have a vinyl "warmth" that I miss.
Now I'm determined to FINALLY put some work into figuring out how to copy my LPs to CD. What I really want to do is burn this to CD and compare it to the standard CD version. Just a matter of doing my homework and investing a little cash. I do have a handful of records that have never come out on CD that would be fun to have, like Buckingham Nicks (bought the crappy Australian CD release a few years ago, but it's obviously mastered from vinyl and the sound is pretty flat; I'd love to see if I could get a better sound transferring from my vinyl).
Sometimes I miss my records (even though they're just downstairs in the basement).
