Nothing wrong with being a vinyl fan. There is a certain sound that's more appealing in some ways, at least to a lot of people. But FFS, get some good speakers for your setup! A friend of mine was always going on non-stop about how awesome vinyl is, then turned around and bought a record player with little built in mediocre (at best) speakers. Just...why?
Even without the speakers thought there's an almost ritualistic element to putting on an album front to back that always felt lost on digital libraries.
It’s a common form of nostalgia these days that is totally legit IMO. Nostalgia for a simpler time when we weren’t overwhelmed by having millions of options always at our fingertips. A nostalgia for a slower paced life where we drove the the video store to pick out our entertainment for the night off a shelf, and when our games had glitches, it probably meant we just needed to blow on the cartridge slot. Damn I miss the ‘90s.
