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

And if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon.

JFK would have lived out his term if only he'd stayed away from Dallas...New Orleans would still be whole if it hadn't have been for Katrina...I'd be retired now if the damned steel mill hadn't closed...
You can't go back in time and undo what's happened.
Besides, digital didn't "highjack" anything. Given the choice, consumers preferred the digital format over the old analog LP. They still do. Who cares? That's the mass market and the mass always has lousy taste.
We're only a niche market. Luckily for us, we're a highly profitable niche, or we wouldn't even be discussing this.
Anyway there's nothing to reclaim. We have our music. It isn't going away. There are more turntables on the market today than there were 35 years ago. Albums I never even laid eyes on back in the day now turn up regularly at the local used record store. We can buy from dozens if not hundreds of online sources that didn't exist in 1985, let alone 1975.
Take it from me, I'm an old guy. I've been messing around with this stuff since I was a ten-year-old kid.
It's better now than it ever was. These ARE the good old days.
