I have a friend that still swears by record players and won't buy CD's if he can help it.
Mind you, his main record player has a concrete base for stabilisation and so weighs a ton, and cost over £1000 so he is a true believer in vinyl!

bit off topic now but there's so much about using vinyl such as keeping the weight and balance of the arm and stylus pressure correct so as not to prematurely wear the vinyl etc etc.
I just dunno if I can be bothered with all that.
still (getting back on topic) with the enthusiasm of a true audiophile, such records will be able to be listened to for many New Years to come

Still have my very old Garrard turntable. And several vinyls of course. The turntable is the one with a parallelogram arm so that the stylus (Shure) is always parallel to the groove.
Anyway, a wonderful Year 2012 to all of you.
