Im not against the benefits of digital and CD, the problem is that SOUND comes first, if you have to give up the power and the majesty of the true masterpieces in modern music for a pale facimile to get portability, then it aint worth the tradeoff and never will be. I have it all, LP, CD, SACD, MP3, DVD, BD, etc. but I would not want to give up LP because its simply better in most cases, and is incredibly better in some cases. I feel sorry for those who have never experienced the pleasure of truly great music in truly great sound as it was recorded. Bottom line is you don't know what a true sonic masterpiece is because there arent any on CD or MP3. Those are all excellent at best, but are NEVER TRULY GREAT. Its degrading to the art, and the most degrading to the very finest of those artworks, which is totally unacceptable to me and many others.

I too travel quite a bit, and am sure I can't take a turntable, miniamp, and LP collection as carryons, much less find a power source, :-) It's all about choices and compromises. Given the choice, I think I'd prefer to listen to an LP if available and convenient. If not, it's a CD or iPod. With a large CD collection, mega CD changers are a blessing, not having to get up and change the CD's. I haven't explored music servers yet, but the two CD changers are not filled up.
