Why should i buy vinyl.

Why buy vinyl reddit.

R vinylcollector is where i have gotten to closest to my asking price while still actually selling the record. Ebay and again discogs are also fairly easy and reliable too. So i recently got back into vinyl and have been re buying all my favorite artists albums on vinyl. This got me wondering why do people buy vinyl.

So whats you re reason for buying vinyl. I love records but they re also the bane of my fucking life. Vinyl records today might sell 10 times its original price 20 years from now. That s why they had a 1 3 euro price tag.

I m not sure if this is the correct subreddit to pose the question but i figured asking in r vinyl would only give me biased answers. There s a lot more satisfaction in listening to a vinyl than there is in listening to digital music for me. I have never once managed to buy a used record that sounded even halfway decent. Yes a lot of my used records are in rough condition.

I have records in both vinyl and cd and anyone who owns both mediums knows playing a cd is infinitely more convenient than vinyl. But at the same time i ve enjoyed the overhwelming majority of my pre owned vinyl. A shelf full of vinyl record have more impact compared to a shelf full of cds or a media player with billions of music files. I love the equipment i play them on.

Even as physical record sales decline people are buying more vinyl than they have in decades in 2013 sales increased 31. Of all the music formats vinyl has the most value. Just 10 000 supporters can make this lego record store a real set. Exactly and it s far easier to find and add a song or album to a playlist than it is to go out and find a vinyl you re looking for and then also buy it.

I tend to avoid record shops and or half priced books unless i am moving bulk volume and don t want to mess with shipping and haggling. You are an audiophile and fetishize the sound of analog recordings or you simply like the aesthetics of vinyl records packaging. Showing your support is free all it takes is a click. Some people even buy vinyl records just because they love the packaging.

Some sensible most not. There are two basic answers for this. I love the way they sound. I love them as objects.

What a remarkable thing to say. What surprised me is the amount of versions of the same albums there are now and ultimately the different monetary value of essentially the same material. As to why i still buy vinyl many many reasons.
