"Nothing" -- Massacre
[QUOTE=Personamanx;4028240]I'm unfortunately experimenting with vinyl.[/QUOTE]"Experimenting with vinyl"?!? :confused:
I can't remember the last time I bought any music on vinyl. It was probably something used that I picked up at a library book sale. But I pretty much stopped regularly buying any new music on vinyl back in the late 1980s (maybe very early 1990s). Bought more on cassette tapes than on vinyl before switching to CDs as my main type of music purchases.

They've been making a comeback recently. I think owning physical media rather that downloading or streaming it has come into fashion again. There's also a bit of a collector's market for older releases as well as limited prints of newer material. I haven't been to a music store in years that didn't lead towards vinyl records, none that were doing good business anyway.
Personally I just bought a vinyl release of a newer album I liked because I thought the album art would make for a decent wall hanger. I bought a cheap player to give it a spin, and I valued the experience. I'm not an audio geek or anything so I can't really explain what I liked about it without getting poetic. I think it's kind of like how I still buy one or two physical comics every now, and then. I could more easily experience it digitally, but it's nice to see/feel something that's real.
I don't know how far I'm going to go into the well, but the price is a huge hurdle. As good as I am at saving money for things like this my funds are limited.

The [I]Barnes & Noble[/I] store I frequently go to has a decent amount of space dedicated to that.
I was more puzzled / amused by your "experimenting with vinyl" comments since that was the primary source for purchasing music when I was younger, including buying the 45 RPM singles. And back when I was in college, I did radio where we spun albums on turntables to provide music. (When I later did radio in the real world it was still early in the transition to working from CDs and then going to digital.)
One format from my younger days I don't expect will be revived: [B][FONT=Comic Sans MS]8-Track tape cartridges[/FONT][/B]!

Hehe, sorry. I'm only Twenty-Five. Records are an uncharted territory for me, and I'm having fun figuring them out. I was absolutely delighted when I found out I could reduce skipping by attaching a coin to the needle's arm.
