yes, it turns out the speakers were sold away.

Damn...Oh well, we have our amps and we can always hook it up to your theatre system :D

Cool, thanks. Let me know what they are, and how much they are, if you don't mind.

no prob. I'm going later on today anyway so I'll PM you later tonight

thanks. I'll actually have to go offline for a few days, but I'll check in next week.

We have a mint original of White Light/White Heat at my work.
I can't afford it, but I like to ogle.

I listen to vinyl sometimes (more since we got the computer, as the record player is in the study). It's nearly all stuff from the late 80's/early 90's from before I had a cd player.

A lot of it's unavailable on cd, and I've largely upgraded the stuff that is. The big exception to that is The Smiths - they sound so suited to vinyl that I've never wanted to get the cd's. The same applies to some other bands too.

The only vinyl I still buy is very cheap stuff, old recordings and rarities. In Chester recently I got The Fall's Hit the North picture disc. Happy day!

Changing to CDs is not an upgrade, unless you're talking laziness factor.

I like not having to replace the stylus! Especially now that they are so pricey (and hard to find). I also like being able to skip etc. And not worry about scratches etc. And trading bootlegs is possible with cd. Good stuff.

Vinyl still has a special place, of course.

Haha, then again if you're willing to fish out $7,000 you can get a laser stylus and never have to replace it. I see what you mean about scratches and bootlegs though. Personally I use pretty much all of the popular mediums.

Vinyl - Sound quality, collecting, vinyl-only material. Best packaging out of all mediums.
Cassette - Mix tapes are awesome, and directly recording is sweet too
CD - Portable and practable. 300 songs/CD is a good amount, and probably the easiest out of all to make compilations
MP3 - I'm getting one next month. Portablilty, 15,000 songs on a small device, recording, portability, CD Text
