The sad part: I had some vinyl. The record player blew up. I got the books on fixing record players - the amp blew up. I bought an RIAA preamp from Rane - had to have it shipped special from Europe because Rane stopped making it (no RoHS-approved components for some of the boards). It never worked. And then I spot-checked a half-dozen of my records and found them all as .flac on what.cd. Considering all I was going to do was rip them and denoise them anyway, it made very little sense to keep up the charade. Then I didn't download the flacs. That is my sense on vinyl - fun for the gear fetishism, but not at all about the music.
