vinyl is in- you see records at book stores (from GnR to Rihanna) i think many buyers today use it as a statement piece in their office or home etc.

a record player "looks cool"

Phonograph records in good shape with their covers are wonderful items to own...I consider them equal to fine books.  They are wonderful to watch while they play, and the larger canvas of the 12 inch square cover make them great to look over in their own right.

However, a CD's digital audio is technically better...

i do think i would appreciate the music more, just sitting down with ONE record instead of having to skip a song every 20 seconds...

that being said, theyre not that cheap and im slightly bothered by all limited edition collectors edition 180 grams colored vinyl that cost a fortune stuff...

I said it many times when cd' was first coming onto the scene. Vinyl sounds light years better. If you have  a pristine record and a good sound system with a good needle the flavors of the music really comes through. I can't speak for the new vinyl coming out that probably got loaded through a computer. It probably is no better than a CD. I have plenty of old vinyl. No comparison with the sound compared to cd's.  Downloaded music is lacking too.

I have almost three bank boxes full of vinyl albums, including the yellow and red jacket, Miles Davis Sketches of Spain. Sadly, I don't currently have a turn table or decent sound system to play them on.

If I listened to music, I would buy vinyl, but I would prefer to invest in Six Star Nutrition Triple Chocolate protein powder from Wal-Mart.

Many people enjoy music, but personally - I'd rather be big.

EDIT: You should not touch the grooves with your fingers. finger prints wreck them.

Funny! I think I have some of those as well. My wife played Jump (For My Love) by the pointer sisters until the tape turned to circle of salt.  ;D

I got a technics SL-1200MK2 with Shure M97XE cart. Technics are very overprice but built like a brick, but worth it if you can find at a decent price. Only turntables I will ever own. Funk those POS cheap urban outfitters turntables. If you're on a budget look at u-audio. Willing to spend more, look at pro-ject, hig-range audio-techicas, or Sony PS-HX500. Some people hate on the Sony model though.

LMAO vinyl Have been slowly back since 08' (within artist circuit) with general access growing  since 3/4 years ago .


If available, I always go for vinyl first, in my opinion,  is the only way you can consume an entire album  .... you do have to make an investment though  ,  a decent turntable and ortofon stylus to appreciate the sound as it should be .

I'm the opposite, I listen on spotify first, then if I can listen to the whole album straight, I then buy the record.

Smart choice, as vinyls are a major expense .
