Can you imagine a world without vinyl?


Can you imagine a world without vinyl?
I have been into vinyl for 49 years - since the age of 8 & cannot imagine a world without vinyl.
I started out buying 45's & graduated to 33's (what is now considered LP's).
I have seen 8 tracks come & go, still have a kazillion cassettes, reel to reel & digital cassettes - have both the best redbook player & SACD players available, but must listen to my "LP's" at least 2 hours a day.
I play CD's about 6 hours a day as background music while I'm working, but must get off my butt every now & then & "just listen to real music".
I admit to being a vinyl junkie - wih 7 turntables, 11 cartridges & 8 arms along with 35K albums & 15K 45's.
For all you guys who ask - Is vinyl worth it - the answer is yes!
Just play any CD, cassette, or digital tape with the same version on vinyl & see/hear for yourself.
May take more time & energy (care) to play, but worth it's weight in gold.
Like Mikey says "Try it, you'll like it!"
I love it!

WOW! What a collection. Anytime you need anyone to come by, clean a few records, make sure that they still work, you let me know. I'll buy a plane ticket and sleep in the garage.

MY only question is how do you possibly enjoy it all? Assuming an LP is 40 minutes long, that is 1,400,000 minutes = 23333 hours = 972 days = 2.66 YEARS.

Oh, and how in the world do you know what you have? I mean, is there anything you see in a record store and know that you don't own it?
