Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.

So yeah, It is worth it!!

Wow, many fine sentiments here.

Worth it? That is up to the individual-yes? For my own self it is. I am able to enjoy many fine recordings from the vinyl era that are not on cd. Having access to thrift store finds and occasional other sources of clean LP's makes it easy. Sometimes just a good cleaning and the LP is good as new (nearly)

CD are fine. The vinyl system will stay. Room for both.

Too bad the new big format is Download. No liner notes. No cool record jackets. No money in the pocket of the artist.

Vinyl vs CD is so last century.

How about comparing the new deal ;-)

RW, comparing the new deal.....downloads....i assume you mean to the little shiney discs.

you need to define the goals. easiest? cheapest? most convienient? collectability? pride of ownership? best performance?

my system is 'download' free for now. i don't have any philosphical problem with downloads......but i have not yet heard one that competes with SOTA digial discs.....let alone vinyl.

i do have XM in the car.....and for long trips it's great.

Wow, Mike! Now you've done it by mentioning XM! This thread is going to turn into the Stern vs. O&A debate!

I'm with you, though. XM is great in the car!

Nilthepill thats how to live it, when out of town a must for me and the best wife in the world is to search out vinyl. right now i am playing a find from my last trip to Houston. CSNandY four way street. just cleaned and now playing a classic. its the music that counts
