I LOVE vinyl so I will say only this … I AM allowed to obsess over it because it is my vinyl collection. I have a mid-range older turntable with a perfectly good needle on it, a custom 3 tube pre-amp, and external sound card, and one nice collection of stuff I grew up with and then some (80’s kid here, born in 1969).

As for vinyl rips, I totally support people who own and rip them, sharing them. Vinyl is NOT what it used to be since a lot of them are being pressed from digital masters and not analog masters. The ritual of playing vinyl is what dragged me in all those years ago and I have not looked back.

Long Live Vinyl!!!
