  1. I love vinyl because of the snaps, crackles and pops -- takes me back to my favorite childhood breakfast cereal.

  2.  @TomFord-uh1to  And the expense of open reel is prohibitive. CDs are superior to both vinyl and tape -- vinyl wears, tape wears.

  3.  @sandechoir  You like stealing. That makes you a criminal. You aren't stealing from the corporations; you're stealing from the recording artists.

  4. @Abe Froman Hopefully you'll get over the naive nostalgia for a pain in the ass. Just to let you know: the "warmth" of vinlk is DISTORTION. What we DON'T want in fidelity is DISTORTION.

  5.  @thomaslutro5560  Most Capitol Beatles LPs -- I'm sure you have all those, in whatever condiction -- are typically 23-25 minutes TOTAL.

  6.  @sandechoir  Joking about stealing isn't funny to the victim.

  7. @Abe Froman Critical thinking, based on decades of experience with vinyl, is "aggression"? Sure dude -- show us how to "chill"/thinknotthink.

  8. That's the only benefit over CDs.

  9. @Abe Froman And for a lot more money than they are worth. Vinyl WEARS. And the amount of permanent damage by the static attraction of dust and dirt is significant.

  10.  @sandechoir  If it's promotional it's usually garbage.

  11.  @robbieclark7828  Gatefolds take twice the space on the shelf.

  12.  @iielysiumx5811  Try 320 kHz.

  13.  @frossbog  Only if there is a flaw in the manufacture. And nothing can be done by the added distortion to vinyl playback, which those who tout vinyl -- it "purity" of sound -- mistake for "warmth". That's their distinction between analog and digital: distortion that masks the uncolored source.

  14.  @soostdijk  Bigger isn't always better. I'd rather use a Volkswagen van than am 18-wheel tractor trailer. Subwoofers have their place, but in most instances are not used correctly.

  15.  @iielysiumx5811  And you buy the superior CD for actual play?

  16. Many people use CD players. Moreover, many prefer having hard copy of their music. The attack on actually listening to entire LP is actually stupid: I have a friend who loves "In My Life" by The Beatles; but he can't be bothered to listen to anything else on the album. It's all part of the speed-it-up/dumb-it-down attack on relaxation.
