I still have a working turntable. Vinyl is often clearer than the original cd releases back in the day, and not over driven and messy like most modern 'remaster' cds. True for many older records, but not all.

The Led Zep 10 cd 'cube' is sonically superior to the rest of their catalog (albeit somehow the left & right channels were swapped!), as is the original 4 disc box set (and the later 2 disc supplement of missing tracks). the recent best of (later days...) sounds like crap. How The West Was Won is over driven and too hot.

Master of Puppets sounds best on vinyl, crisp. Their last new cd is a sonic disaster, which is why people who really care about the quality snapped up the vinyl resale of it. The physical limitations of records is a good thing. We had a whole thread on this when death magnetic came out.

yard sales & flee markets are great for $2 records.

As someone too lazy to work up a record collection this is true. Music sounds the best coming out of a good quality record player, from a good quality record. It just something about the deepness and richness of a record that digital media cant capture.

Interesting tidbit I read. Record presses are the fastest growing form of tangible music media today.
