Dear Jack mostly folk,
DON"T PART WITH YOUR VINYL!!!!!!!I feel like I'm trying to coax someone away from the cliff edge. LP's are wonderful - magic - treasures to be adored. I'll swap you my two beautiful childern for your collection (joking only - but I think you catch my drift).
Any audiophile will tell you that CD's lack the dynamic range of analog recordings and at best are "close approximations" to the original. Even if they are a bit noisy through overuse or misuse they are usually superior and certainly more authentic to any subsequent digitally remastered copy.
So don't part with your old LP's. While less convenient than CD's they are special and deserve to be preserved.
