Just listening should help people understand the appeal of vinyl and why so many think it is superior to digital at a very fundamental level. Most of the appeal of digital has little to do with sonics.
Very sensible. Steve usually brings a healthy measure of practicality to his videos. I’ve got a nice vinyl collection and setup, and enjoy the whole LP experience, but hey, I’m nearly 70. I also choose to pay for newspaper home delivery, but if you prefer to read online I’m good with that. Just as long as you’re participating one way or the other!

I liked the video and think it is right on the money on all points. I feel sorry for him that he listens to such a small percentage of his collection. They are wasting space. I started buying records 40+ years ago, and listen to 90%+ of them at least 3-4 times a year.  When CDs came out, they sounded like crap. Digital has gotten a lot better. Because of my record collection, I have continued to strategically improve the analogue set up. Stopped buying CDs once records started getting made again. Disconnected the CD player about 15 years ago, and now just listen in the car, garage and downloaded them to my iPhone. 

I agree with the one poster who detests record scalpers (ticket scalpers too). 

If I had no music and was starting out as an audiophile with limited budget like I did in college, I am sure that I would stream to the best of its ability. It is a pain trying to find things on vinyl, although it is getting better. I have no problem with the hipsters getting into vinyl because they think it's cool. If they help build the market, vinyl will be kept alive, unlike CDs which are dying off. It's hard for someone to say CDs are better than streaming, although I am sure there are a few SACD exceptions where the full file isn't streamed and it sounds better.
