I love it for the process - find the album, get it out of the sleeve - put it on the turntable, clean it, put down the arm, sit in my chair, read the liner notes. One thing about CD's is no liner notes, which is a pain. And I LOVE the sound. I kept all my albums from the 70's and have added a lot of reissues - Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Stones, Beatles, SRV..... nothing better than sitting and listening to music. No one does that any more. Music is always background, but no one sits and listens.
Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl
I just responded to the thread on how many sources do you have ( shotgunning tonight) and got me wondering why I love vinyl so much? Have a very good digital side on both my main system and my headphone system as well that was set up for Redbook playback (headphone system) only utilising my vast 1,000 CD collection, enjoyed it for about a year, added a turntable and haven't used it since. My love of vinyl has been with me for 55 years, buying and playing, setting up my tables , matching preamps and enjoying the fruit of my labor. I believe my love of vinyl is a simple one, it stemmed from the hands on, need to tinker and adjust that I was born with, it's a very physical attraction that I just can not resist, it satisfies a lot of needs for me and in some way is that mistress that I maintain. My turntable is massive and so easy to look at, I can touch it and get more out of it, I can read about the artist and get info while I listen to an album, I can swap out a cartridge and change the tone and in the day the album covers served as a rolling tray to roll a joint. I love vinyl, but absolutely understand while others don't. I also envy people like uberwaltz that have and use so many sources, wish I could. What say you?
