One just has to look at what the average Joe used to spin vinyl at the heyday of the LP era to understand why people get so amazed at the fact of us still colecting vinyl records. Even a slightly "pimped out" Technics or Dual TT (as many seem to have here) goes leaps and bounds over any stock TT/cartridge combo of the day. And the rest of exotic TTs we take so much pride about are simply like comparing a Ferrari to a Ford Focus. Simply being put, many people never got themselves the chance to know the real sound quality (and great noise absence) an LP can provide through a decent system -. No wonder CDs were so highly praised back in the day.And here we're seeing it again with the media declaring CDs (and any other physical music support, for that matter) dead and praising Apple and their "revolutionary" online music store. Out with bulky backup copies, in with digital music "collections" that can be wiped out in a second, gone forever, by a hard drive gone awry. Seems to be fit, as much of today's "top hits" are of equally disposable nature.
I'm not looking forward to make any new converts to this hobby. I just hope they understand.
