I'm sure your Mercury Living Presence series sounds like the best of them, but you are talking about a VERY specific and exceptional case, hardly valid for records in general. After a while, even the best cared for records degrade just by being played over and over. With an average CD player and a decent amplifier, you can get audiophile quality sound hassle free. BTW, don't assume others haven't heard or own "highest quality records" and "several thousand dollars (USD) of equipment".
This reminds of a scene from Indiana Jones in which a guy goes through a lot of trouble with several complicated sword movements just to get shot by someone who simply pulls the trigger of a pistol. Efficiency and simplicity have a merit and beauty of their own.
This is clearly not the place to start a whole new technical discussion on this topic, and no one can argue with your preferences, so I'll say it again:
Just kidding Mark, I was curious as to why someone prefers records over CD's, that's all. Hey, maybe my turntable will get to spin for a while tonight after decades of rest.
Best regards
