Haven't listened to vinyl in over a year or so. I wanted to hear some old tunes that I have yet to find on CD. Anyway, the sound was great but I still cant get use to the snap, crackle, and pop. HA.

Analogue is still better by miles.

Vinyl will never die. Melt, scratch, warp, pop & tick-yes. Die-never.

I spin 'em every day. Digital is getting closer, but it ain't there yet!

Hardy a day goes by when I don't spin vinyl -- especially with new discs costing 25c (max) at the local thrift shop.

Vinyl is still my primary listening source. I leave CDs for the car. It would cost me far too much to replace my current vinyl catalog, even though I started buying records 4 years ago.

its still sounds more like music, if I must say.

But it's been a couple of weeks since I put a CD on!

I listen to vinyl as often as I can -- I love it! The more I read about all the new digital formats with watermarking and such, the more I want to collect more vinyl.

My only CD player is in my car.

I wasn't an audiophile when I discovered Stereophile. I was just looking for a new CD player. When I bought the October 1996 Stereophile, I discovered Michael Fremer, who, over the course of a year, convinced me to buy a Planar 3. It's great. Now I only listen to CD 33-1/3% of the time, if that. Make Mikey your most senior editor. He's the best.

..and every day....

vinyl rules...

Last night, actually. I played several for a guest. We started with his Yale graduate piano recital (Beethoven, Bartok, Debussy), which he has on vinyl. Then I played some Stravinsky on vinyl for him. Great stuff.

and just about every day.

I couldn't live without vinyl . . . well, at the least, if I lost the ability to play and enjoy it, I would be severly depressed for a long time, possibly until the day I croaked -- a day that would undoubtedly be hastened by the lack of vinyl in my life. PS The only reason it's been two weeks since I last spun a record is because my amplifier crapped out.

I never thought I would say this but, the answer is "whenever I want to sit and listen for 22.5 minutes at a time".

I listen to vinyl every time I turn the system on. I mix 30/70 with CDs. The only pain is that the REL sub must be adjusted for both. There is just a lot of material that is not around on CD. Anyone ever heard of Gordon Giltrap or Software (from the 70's)? Probably not.

I have hosted a "Vinyl Friday the last 3 months on the final Friday of the month. Food,cocktails and vinyl. Was great fun.

I have many CDs but I play my vinyl everyday and most of my purchases are for new and used vinyl.

I listen to vinyl every day. I spend $100 -$200 on vinyl every month, and I love it. I have a CD player, but I prefer the old sound. I have given away 4 TT's in the last year to people who wanted to listen to records, but didn't have one. Thanks MP

The fact that vinyl didnot disappear is testament to the fact that it is still a superior format, despite its short comings. Anybody who wants perfect sound forever, doesn't mind the exta effort required for vinyl playback. Maybe someday digital will get close enough.

If I hadn't moved, it would have been at least once a week

Long live the lp. Give Mikey a raise.

I almost neve listen to cds- records are always my prefered choice when seriously wanting to listen to music.

Who said vinyl's dead?

I am fairly new to records, but I love them! I'm shopping for a new table, arm & caretridge now. Plus a phono preamp. And Michael Fremer is the best!

Must be an addict

I really enjoy listening to vinyl on my Goldmund Studio with Koetsu Rosewood II. With the demands of work (including business travel, I just don't have enough time for "critical listening". I plan a couple of sessions (usually 2 - 3 hours each) this month. I STILL prefer most vinyl to most CDs.

I recently purchased a used B&O RX2. Even though the cartridge is the lowest of the line (I plan to replace it very soon.) the sound blows away my $700 Marantz CD recorder. I can now see very clearly why many audiophiles have chosen to remain loyal to their 'tables.
