I never got rid of my vinyl.... Still have it all.... 300+ albums.

Mostly classic rock 60's and 70's but I collected into the 80's as well.
Most of it is in good to pristine condition except the album sleeves are starting to show some wear.
I digitized some of it (obscure albums) that may never be re-released.
Used a R/Shack battery powered phono pre-amp direct to my sound card from my Technics SL-QD22 turntable w/ Shure RXT6 cartridge.
Not really high end gear, but "pretty good" low-mid range stuff.
Sounds ok as digital, but the actual vinyl still sounds better (subjective opinion).

Edit; The R/Shack pre-amp is surprisingly decent.
I picked up 2 of them back in the day when they put them on sale due to the CD boom.
Have never even un-boxed the second one.
