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...

Albert,
You just inspired my evening listening session! Lorenna McKinnit's "Book of Secrets" and "Beyond the Missouri Sky" short stories by Charlie Haden & Pat Metheny ( love this) I do wish it were avail on Vinyl too. Just transfer this post to the "Whats on your TT tonight" thread for me.! :)

I agree 100% that both formats are a must have even though, like you, I prefer the LP sonically. IMHO this is the real Hi rez format, but again, its nice to have the digital for music unattainable on LP.

Hello Sputniks,

Whether it be my trustee Technics turntable or my JA Michell Orbe TT set up, vinyl is just so much more musical and enjoyable. Maybe now that I have my APL Denon 3910, I will have a better use for my CDs other than wine glass coasters, LOL!

Enjoy the music!!!

I listen to LPs to get all of those seeds out of my gatefold LPs. Does that make me a bad person?

CD'S are good for working out or cleaning house. LP's just hold my attention for a much longer period of time. I can play records for hours. I was never able to do that with CD's. When I got out of the Navy everyone had gone digital and I went along with the crowd. A couple years ago I was fooling around with the HI-REZ formats and not finding what I was looking for. The suggestion was made that I try out a good TT and pre. Since then my 500 or so CD's sit idle most of the time.
