Is Vinyl Worth It
Yes it is well worth it. If you have the time to sit and listen, if not do not bother. Today we for some reason do not have or cannot find the time to enjoy the simple pleasures in life anymore.

There is no venue where music does not have some kind ambient noise except for Digital music. To me it is too clean and unnatural. I do listen to digital music, the scale and depth is getting better with hires. Vinyl is preferred, it does have iss...

Buy Mono vs. Stereo LPs for Stereo Rig
I have a stereo system but have a mono cartridge on an extra wand for my Graham B44 (see system). I find with a mono cartridge that the music seems to flow better, be more involving and to have better definition on mono records than my stereo cart...
