What is so special about Vinyls anyway? ;)

I don't have a record player but my friend does and it sounds lovely and better than CD players of similar quality. I know it's been said a thousand times but there is an audible warmth to vinyl, a certain naturalness even; it's not that CDs sound compressed in comparison, it's that CDs sound colder and harder.

I believe most people, on hearing a CD played through a high end system and the same album on vinyl played through a high end system, would notice the difference.

I also love the size of records which afford the luxury of really appreciating the artwork which, sadly, seems nowt but an afterthought in this age of CD and MP3s.

If vinyls weren't so bloody expensive and if everything was still released on vinyl, I'd definitely replace my CD player with a record player.
