Vinyl Reason


I am setting my first stereo system which consists of turntable, amp and speakers. I wonder why people make a decision to go vinyl. In my case I just wanted to revoke that something I had in past....to feel myself the way I felt 20 years ago when I was a teenager...to expirience that ritual of landing LP on a turntable disk, starting the motor, pulling tonearm...whatching it spinning...
But for many people it could be quite different reason. Is it maybe because the quality of vinyl sound is "different"?..just like tube amp sounds differently from SS...

Audiophiles love to tweek their equipment.
Vinyl playback systems can be endlessly "tweeked", but unlike most digital tweeks (like the plastic thing you place on top of your CDP) the analog tweeks actually make sense and can significantly affect the sound.

The argument that there are excellent, and historic, recordings which are not available in digital format is valid.

The ritual of LP play is loved by some. Like the Japanese tea ceremony, where the taste of the tea is not the most important thing.

(How am I doing, Albert?)
Albertporter...You are not the typical vinyl fan. The ones I know are endlessly tweeking and adjusting and upgrading. And they seem to enjoy it, and talking about it.

Your photography is good. Do you use a digital camera, or are you still into film?
Nsgarch...The cosmos is, I must tell you, digital at its heart. But cheer up! The RESOLUTION is so good that for all practical purposes it looks like analog. There is a message here for audiophiles.
