Vinyl lovers I must be crazy

I have been in the hobby for about 40 years and it seems that I enjoyed my simple system back in the 70's more than my high end system of today. My old system consisted of a receiver (sherwood, marantz) a basic turntable (later upgraded ro a B&O) and various speakers. My current system the cables cost 5 times the entire 70's system and the rest of the gear is top notch. I am not saying the 1970's system was better but I think I enjoyed it much better than today's system. The 70's system was a all vinyl system and my current system I strictly listen to Cd's. Is that the problem listening to CD's? For you vinyl lovers what do you think? For those that made the switch back to playing records are you listening more now? Enjoying your system more? What type of vinyl dollar outlay did it cost to reach vinyl nirvana?

Any feedback would be appreicated. Thanks!

Orpheus 10,
I don't know what an erector set is so perhaps you can share your experience with it for us. And if you're done waxing poetic about your 8000-c, whatever it is, why don't you stop hijacking the thread and take your musical tastes exchange to another thread devoted to the subject, or use PM? That'd be nice of you.

From across the Atlantic at any hour. Orpheus10, this sounds strange to me, really.

No wonder your always suggesting overseas dealers. However you have the site marked as though your in the USA. It must need updated. Then your overseas recommendations will make more sense to other readers.

I am in the US. No, not always do I suggest overseas dealers. However, for some reason I don't like to pay one and a half or double price for the same thing just to feed a few more people who insist on that. I advocate a free trade, and that means free.
