My 15 year-old son is the vinyl freak. Right now, he is on a Billy Joel kick.

I’ve got a Pioneer PL-600 turntable, Yamaha CR-640 receiver, and Boston Acoustics CR-7 speakers. I like the old hifi gear because it was built to last and because I can buy stuff that was once top of the line for not much money. Plus vinyl albums are inexpensive and just inherently cool. My favorite period is from about ‘78 to ‘81 when all the gear had brushed aluminum faceplates and controls. Brushed aluminum + incandescent illumination (the lights in my Yamaha’s tuner bar are green) = ultimate retro-futuristic coolness.
