ook what's the hi-fi overlord's view on vinyl vs CD vs digital? 
i see a lot of CDs
if digital files, what sort of player would you need to get everything out and through? i imagine the macbook 3.5 jack won't do huh

and is vinyl really superior to CD or just hipster gimmick 

feel free to QC and do a thread pls 
ehm ehm

this is Serious Gourmet Bait to get me to write a long hi-fi thread. maybe these could be sit and talk videos instead if there's any interest.

* here's a tldr; on the hi-fi format wars in 2025:
- vinyl is still enormously popular and many serious audiophiles optimize their entire system for vinyl playback rather than CD or streaming
- despite CDs being largely forgotten by the average consumer, audiophiles still love CDs and often prefer them to streaming
- streaming is becoming more and more prevalent, to the extent that it's the default for most showrooms. arguably the most complex and expensive to optimize vs. vinyl and CDs.
