People who prefer LPs to CDs must not be cat people. LPs are cat fur attractors.

After discovering Discogs, I can attest that I am doing my part to make this happen!

Especially once you listen to the pops and crackles on a vinyl LP and try to keep the dust off them.

I’m happy to report that my classical CD collection is better than anything I could have hoped for in vinyl. Not only is the selection much greater today but you don’t have to worry about surface noise or warping a CD with simply a warm look. I've loved music (just about everything but jazz,country and classical) since I was a kid.For years I've been lucky enough to live in a town that's part of a library "consortium" that,collectively,owns many,many thousands of music CDs.Thanks to that consortium's website being searchable by title and my acquiring the ability to use a CD burner I've acquired a music collection of about 6,000 songs...all for the price of some blank CD-Rs and some free time.

Still have my Teckics SL-1200 circa 1977. Waiting for the wide ties to come back too!

There is a line of saxophones called P. Mauriat. They are the only competitor Selmer has had in the last 20 years. In fact, my teacher, who was a Selmer artist forever, is now a P. Mauriat artist.
I was a Selmer guy my whole career, never played a Mauriat, so I don't know.

No need. it is mathematically proven that digital audio recordings can be reproduced 100% faithfully as long as the sampling rate is at least twice as high as the highest audio frequency. No one on this planet can hear a frequency of 20.5 kHz or greater. Personally I can’t hear anything above 12.5kHz.

Way back, I would buy a record and immediately record it onto a Maxell cassette, so I wouldn’t wear the record out.

Best thing about LPs, is that sometimes you’d get a real cool extra, like ELO’s “Out of The Blue” with a cardboard ELO Spaceship you could assemble and hang from your ceiling.

Mine was stolen, along with all my hi-fi equipment, long ago. (Sigh.)

CDs are losing out to other forms of digital music. I haven't bought a CD in years but my iTunes collection grows all the time.
LPs are "retro" and enjoying a comeback.

I learned about the Nyquist frequency but you really need some schooling on this subject!
The audio reproduction cannot be 100% faithfully reproduced to 20khz using a 44.1 kHz sampling rate.
