| Mobile Fidelity 24k CDs @jayctoy : For all the vaunted claims of digital over analog I still treasure and enjoy listening to my LP collection. Nostalgia maybe? I still seek and buy particular used LP'S. Unfortunately prices are rising on those! | |

| New finds In Record Collection I too keep collecting LP's despite not having enough time to give them a thorough listen! Sigh! One of the latest arrivals was the 50th Anniversary Abbey Road. Now that will be an interesting listen! |
