Newbie, old timer or returned to analog?


I remember in the 80's lots of folks were dumping vinyl. Seems to me that vinyl folks seem to fall in one of 3 categories- either you're new to vinyl, you've never abandoned vinyl, or you dumped your vinyl and have re-entered the vinyl world.

I started buying vinyl in the 70's and never gave up on vinyl. Sure I bought a CD player at some point but I never got rid of a single LP. And I am still buying vinyl. Can't recall the last cd I bought though.

How about you? Where on the spectrum are you?

Always had a turntable.  Stopped listening to music for a while, then got back in.  For a time I purchased nothing but cd's, but eventually went back to vinyl, which I always kept.  Have had the same cdp for quite some time.  Have been upgrading the analog end over the years and have finally got to the point where I'm satisfied.  Used to dislike cleaning records, but don't mind a bit now.
  I used to think I had a pretty good record collection, approx. 1200-1300, then ran into an old friend I haven't seen in decades who has around 17,000.  That's a pretty good collection.
