Vinyl lovers I must be crazy

I have been in the hobby for about 40 years and it seems that I enjoyed my simple system back in the 70's more than my high end system of today. My old system consisted of a receiver (sherwood, marantz) a basic turntable (later upgraded ro a B&O) and various speakers. My current system the cables cost 5 times the entire 70's system and the rest of the gear is top notch. I am not saying the 1970's system was better but I think I enjoyed it much better than today's system. The 70's system was a all vinyl system and my current system I strictly listen to Cd's. Is that the problem listening to CD's? For you vinyl lovers what do you think? For those that made the switch back to playing records are you listening more now? Enjoying your system more? What type of vinyl dollar outlay did it cost to reach vinyl nirvana?

Any feedback would be appreicated. Thanks!

Progress is nice but sometimes I crave for simplier times like the 70's.

Well, I just bought a 71 El Camino street rod today with a big block 454, flowmasters, Holley 650, Dual exhaust chrome headers, you get the idea.

Why did I do this?

Craving simpler times. I have had it with sensors, check engine lights, and 400 things in a car that can go wrong that don't even exist in a classic muscle car.

I don't want anything in between the gas tank, and the carb.. other than a fuel filter and a fuel pump. No oxygen sensors or any other garbage. No computers running the injectors or timing the ignition.

Sounds like a good stereo system right?

I want a simple manual choke.. so I can control the mix. Simple.

Now.. what kind of tape deck to I put in this beast?
