Retailers giving vinyl records another spin.
I’m old enough to have owned records when that’s all there was and I don’t remember them being that great. There have always been audio “purists” who feel that the analog sound is superior to today’s digital audio. The absurd thing about records today is that I have to believe 99.9% of them are recorded, mixed and mastered as digital audio. Only in the last step are they molded into analog records. Anyone who is going to claim to hear the “more natural” sound in those recordings is fooling themselves.

To my ears I’d say I hear a very pleasant warm sound (whatever that means, but I’ve heard other people say it so I guess it means something) when listening to vinyl records. The cool thing though is that as I digitize my own vinyl collection and record them onto CDs, that “warm” sound remains.
