Johnnyb53:As I said, I'm not interested in the least in vinyl, old or new. Records suck, plain and simple. They sucked horribly in the mid-70s during the oil crisis, and I got sick of the warps, eccentricity, inner groove distortion, surface noise...

I sold my 1200 LPs in 1988 and immediately went out and bought a Sony CD player and about 30 CDs, mostly ECM recordings.
