I'm one of those people that didn't throw out their turntable and LP's when CD's became mainstream around 1988. I kept my LP's because I have several that will never see the light of day as CD's unless I convert them myself.

I've noticed a resurgence in the popularity of LP's again especially from the younger generation. To me there is nothing like holding an LP in your hands admiring the artwork and actually being able to read the lyrics if they are included.

You don't need to spend $300 on a preamp to listen to a record. You can find many recievers in the thrift shops that still work for less than $20. And to me those recievers were better built than the stuff that is made today.

I still have a 1970's Pioneer upstairs! :D
