selling vinyl and feeling?


I was just wondering how many fellow audiogoners have sold off their lp collections and are having regrets or are glad and completely happy staying with cd and sacd?

I sold my 1200 LP collection in 1988, and I regret only the nice covers and being able to read the print.

Good riddance!
I believe that a lot of the so-called 'resurgence' in vinyl is caused by high CD prices. With prces hovering around $17-18 in most stores, and even on-line (with shipping costs added in) many are finding old gems are much cheaper to obtain as used LPs. What are new LPs selling for?

"Well, sort of, but you have to factor in the price of a turntable to get started."

Not if you already had one, or inherited one from your father, or got one used, cheap.

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, non-fill, etc., etc., etc., etc.......
