requires expensive, special tech to even make it sound as good as your old sony CD walkman
redditfags will literally pressure you to keep wasting money on le diamond needle and will have a heart attack if you get a crosley
Record companies artificially pushed Vinyl as le "best format for audiophiles". It's a scam
Come here:
It is kind of remarkable how hostile nu/mu/ is to spending even a modest amount of money on equipment to listen to music with. Reflects the general antipathy toward music on the once-great music board
You will own nothing, and you will be happy
No the fuck they don't. It's literally just a collectible/merch

I think it's a great idea to listen to music with good tech, but vinyls are kind of the new hipster format. You NEED good equipment for it to sound good, unlike CDs.
This is an issue because without any good easy introduction to the format from a rich friend or something, one might discard the entire format as lesser or just as merch.
I'm sure it has its pros but the barrier to entry is far too high.

Yeah, and until 10 years ago good vintage equipment cost nothing because there was an absolute glut of vintage amps, receivers, and TTs on the used market (not to mention records lmao). I guess I feel bad for zoomers because good gear in today's market is expensive, but it's really not my problem if latecomers to analog media have to deal with high prices for gear and records. This is my boomer moment when I can say "Don't care, I got mine"

Scalpers is the worst thing to ever happen to markets. Millenials and old Zooms are the core demographic scalping people, so they brought it upon themselves.
exclusive vinyl releases now.
who?
Scalpers wouldn't exist without the demand pressure from trendhopping zoomers. You'll really never be able to appreciate the extent to which people were giving these things away for decades
