   i'm new here, and this is my first post:   
      
   i don't like the crackling sounds on an LP, but i can live with slight noise   
   if it's the best i can find. i do feel there is something warmer and sonically   
   more appealing (and accurate?) on vinyl. ever since i started back with   
   records a couple of years    
   ago, i find i listen to my CDs a lot less. CDs often sound sterile and lack   
   punch (bass?), so i usually go to my records instead.   
      
   also, this is a bit of a nostalgic thing for me. when i was a teenager i had a   
   very modest collection of LPs, but let them go when i moved away to college   
   and then to a new city. i regret that now, but at least i've re-bought several   
   of those records    
   recently.    
      
   oh, and of course, this is a cool hobby that is both personal and social. when   
   i go to record shows and flea markets, i always end up chatting with vendors   
   and fellow collectors. it's fun in more ways than one.
