| What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital? I am 73. Bought my first LP in 1964. Have been buying ever since.Bought a NAD cd player early 90's. It has not been connected up for 25years. CD's are soulless. Aesthetically poor.As I said on a thread somewhere on here a few days ago, if you are... | |
| I must be old Just my comment on the original post and those that agree that vinyl has too much noise.Something is wrong if that is your experience. I have been buying and playing records since 1964 (55 years) Most of them are dead quiet. Last night I put on D... | |

| The Lifespan of an LP? I have many LP's I bought from 1964 onwards, 57 years, still sound great.If you pay attention to cleaning and if your tonearm and cartridge is set up good they should not wear.I am not guessing about this, it is my experience. In fact as I upgrade... | |
| Need speaker advice If you are finding that the Tannoy's are a little to "relaxed" and a little too "rolled off" I suggest you look at the components that get you to that point. Your whole system must be "in sync"?. Do research. It took me 50 years but I am there. | |
