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!

Great string! I have been listening since late 50's (my dad owned a zenith HiFi)and never have gotten out of vinyl. For many years my trusty dual 721 table had served me well but until I moved up to a different table (dual finally died)and purchased a moving coil, I really did not fully appreciate what great detail vinyl will offer if presented properly. After 40+ years, I continue to be impressed what this media can deliver. I was sad when the CD craze moved the recording industy to ignore this wonderful venue. Thanks to the diehards who have never given up! It is delightful also to see the younger generation discovering vinyl. My daughter (19) is into this bigtime going by thrift stores and garage sales picking up some classics. She is in love with the big band era and beams when Frankie or Glenn is on her system. The industry may listen to us afterall and bring this medium back.
