[citation][nom]Restatement3dofTed[/nom]You're right, I love it when my music cracks and pops because a tiny fleck of dust jumped under the needle of my record player, or because the record has the tiniest warp in it, or because it's simply degraded over time.You holier-than-thou analog elitists are never going to go away, are you?[/citation]
I'll preface my comment here by saying I've never owned a turn table, or any vinyl. But your comments are ignorant and misguided at best. Vinyl sounds better than CD on a quality hifi system. I have no desire to get into the hobby of collecting and maintaining records, but having heard what it is capable of, I can definitely see why some people do. The detail of analog sound is absolutely amazing.
