Vinyl Reason

I am setting my first stereo system which consists of turntable, amp and speakers. I wonder why people make a decision to go vinyl. In my case I just wanted to revoke that something I had in past....to feel myself the way I felt 20 years ago when I was a teenager...to expirience that ritual of landing LP on a turntable disk, starting the motor, pulling tonearm...whatching it spinning...
But for many people it could be quite different reason. Is it maybe because the quality of vinyl sound is "different"?..just like tube amp sounds differently from SS...

I like the sound better.
Maybe others have different reasons.

LOL. Your reason is far more rational than many that I have read here. You are to be congratulated for you candor - many would not admit to this.

But, as you suggest, the reasons are many. Some never had a choice, it was vinyl or nothing (except tape)but they didn't get out of it when CD's came. Others are now exploring it because its an "in thing" to do. Some because they are exploring music that is not otherwise available to them, some because they just like the "sound" of vinyl and some because vinyl can be cheaply obtained.

After all, this hobby is about what you find enjoyable, not what others do............
