Who knows, maybe i'll even give it a try some time
I prefer Vinyl to CD.
However, when asked to compare the two formats it usually starts a war between the CD lovers and us Vinyl lovers and usually there are no clear winners.
Beauty is said to be in the eyes of the beholder.
I feel that is the same with both the Vinyl and CD formats.
They both have pros and cons.
Its my belief that if you were to go ahead and try out Vinyl you will be pleasantly surprised and most likely will have no regrets, once you cross over. There will be days you will want to just listen to Vinyl all day, one record after another, and some days you wont feel like messing with them and will just pop in a CD for a quick song or two.
Vinyl does take careful handling and up keep, quite more than the CD does, but that can be part of the fun with Vinyl. I bought brand new records back in the 70's when I was still in elementary school and because I took good care of them they still reproduce great music. I still enjoy pulling them out to show off their pristine condition and then play them back after all these years later with very few pops & clicks.
