Vinyl Asylum Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ. |

It always amuses me, first, when I tell people vinyl is my primary choice, and their subsequent confusion. Which of course, we all go through in here.But then when they ask "Where do you still find vinyl?", and I tell them of the used market. This seems inconceivable to them.
It must be lodged in most of a generation's heads, that vinyl was ALWAYS horrible. Has everyone been brainwashed by the time-life commercials or something? Why is noise the first thing that is always mentioned? They really can't seem to understand used can be MINT, or nearly. And they seem to have no recall of the, likely, great percentage of very clean records they once owned. It seems to be only those few noisy ones they remember.
The ratio from my high-school era records, now 30+ years old if bought new, is about 90% in great shape, 98% playable, 2% taking up space. Was it so much worse for all the digital converts?
I get very few opportunities to play a clean record for any of these forgetful people. I don't necessarily want to convert anyone, I just want some of them to REMEMBER what it was like, and what it was NOT like.
Well, let them have their cd's. More records for us.
