yeah, i started when CDs didn't exist, and did not switch to cd but added them. i waited to get a decent sounding cd player ($140 at Target!) and soon found out that LPs sound better than cd even when the LP had a digital source.
brothers in arms was my first, and great sounding cd BUT, i bought a cutout copy, possibly used and i was astounded how much better the LP was than the cd. and that was with a MM cartridge.
i continued my LP acquisitions at VERY low prices because the deaf were unloading them for cd replacements. YAY!
i have about 6k LPs and half that of cd and other optical disc units. i will soon be culling my collection because i will live in a smaller space and a great many of them were bought because i MIGHT like and listen to them. a great many of those will never be played so out they will go.
i am a music lover and always want something new and great to play and i keep finding such., both on vinyl and cd. storage is the most difficult obstacle and most of my records are not alphabetized.
just yesterday i heard a great female singer and a spacey and ethereal artist as well. then there are the older artists whom i have precious few of that i "need" more of.
get it?
