Analog vs digital?


Hi all! My first posting so please be gentle!
I've just had my old Linn LP12 turntable tuned up. It's been over 25 years since its had any attention. 
Nothing replaced just readjusted and I'm blown away by the result. 
It's so much more involving than the digital part of my system. 
Singxer SU-6, Denafrips Terminator. 
The Linn LP12 and  Ekos arm is over 30 years old.
I'm confused! 
Technology seems to be going backwards. Is it all for convenience?

Partially it was but digital can sound fine also. I’m not one of those one or the other guys. Get yourself a new belt and your cartridge may be passed it’s sell by date. You’ll have to determine that. Enjoy. 

Now hopefully this thread won’t jump down the worm hole.
nzastro, if you want to improve your digital for less, get a mac mini and a 2tb or larger hard drive. Load an audio program on it like Pure Music or JRiver and start collecting Hi Res files online. HDTracks and Acoustic Sounds are two of the more popular online stores. 24/96 and 24/192 files are available for most older titles. New music is available in 16/44.1 and sometimes in 24/48. Some older records have gotten remastered for digital and sound fantastic like Led Zeppelin 1. 
No flipping records for me for at least two months. Had my right wrist fused this morning and it is in a long arm cast/splint affair. The block won't wear off until tomorrow afternoon so I am comfortable for now. After that it will be oxycodone, THC and NIN for me. I should be able to come up for air in 4 days. So, I do understand the health issue subject. The computer video runs to the projector so I can pull up the menu from the recliner and scroll through using a trackpad. I can even create playlists if I like.  
No Vinyl, but beggars can't be choosy.

Sorry to hear about your health issues. The secret to a successful life is, learning to have fun in spite of it. Sometimes it gets tough. Oxy, THC and NIN with some KC for good measure. Loud music kills pain!
