It's funny how records are still best.

To each their own, personally I can't stand vinyl anymore. There are so many high end CDP's and SACD players today that surpass vinyl that I put all mine away.

After a brief fling with SACD, I find I'm buying more LPs than anything else. SACD and CD are fine for convenience, and some music is available nowhere else, but when I really want to LISTEN, only LPs and R-R tape will do. And I have a $3K SACD player.

Merganser,

I know exactly what you mean. I'm sure those old LP's are taking up too much space that could be used to store new SACD's and CD's. You can easily store 4 or 5 in the space that one LP takes up. So, if you're inclined to get that old vinyl stuff out of your way let me know. I'd be glad to take them off your hands. It would be a slight burden, but I have a large, finished basement with lots of storage space. Just consider it a favor between A'gon members.

I am with merganser. Vinyl is just to much of a hassle to bother with. All the cleaning and set-up and still too noisy for me. I will take my SACD's over vinyl anytime. However, having said that I am sure under the right conditions vinyl is wonderful but I have yet to experience it.
