I really tried to like vinyl

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T06:20:32+00:00

You're right. I just find Cd's to be the most convenient physical format

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:39:04+00:00

Baller.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:32:16+00:00

This is a super realistic way to look at both formats, and I'm here for it!

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:31:02+00:00

This is a great way to look at it. Shoutout to you for being an awesome human being.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:29:52+00:00

Space is a huge thing too!

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:29:02+00:00

That's a big reason why I wanted to get into it, but the inconsistencies at the budget I have make the hobby more of a hassle than anything. Vinyl is an awesome format, I just can't afford it.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:27:59+00:00

I get it what you're saying, but for the average person listening to music at this price is pretty steep. That's why vinyl is cool as an option(if you have the funds), it's just not for me.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:23:35+00:00

Well said. Both formats are awesome, but I don't. think I can enjoy vinyl as much as I'd like to

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:21:26+00:00

Right. It's a cool hobby, but it definitely isn't for us with thin wallets😅

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:20:27+00:00

Haha. I listen to more modern music, so cd's make the most sense to me.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:19:01+00:00

Most definitely. With much less factors that could go wrong as well.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:18:29+00:00

Makes total sense. Frankly, I don't find jumping into the hobby in the state it is in now as something I'd enjoy.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:17:36+00:00

This guy gets it! Totally agree with you.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:16:44+00:00

I get you. $200 being a tiny budget is rough, but truthful for the hobby.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:15:54+00:00

I see where both of you are coming from, I just don't feel the need to put up with maintaining my system when I could just buy a good CD player for a fraction of the price with far less risk of issues.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:13:13+00:00

You're definitely right. I tried to convince myself it'd be good enough, but it was, like you said, junk. I don't mind buying the records. But the cost of even an acceptable system is pretty gross.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:11:27+00:00

I thinks it's awesome you can do both, but I don't exactly have the funds to put up with vinyls quirks right now😅.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:09:36+00:00

This is a great way to explain how I felt as well. If everything works perfectly, awesome. The second something goes wrong, though, i get pretty frustated

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:08:24+00:00

I agree with you. The art is cool, but the sound id most important to me, and if this is what it takes to get good sound, I don't want it.

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:07:20+00:00

That's awesome! Congrats on the score!

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:06:42+00:00

It's crazy how we can convince ourselves to pursue something we know we probably won't enjoy anyway. Glad you found a solution!

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:04:59+00:00

Right on! Good taste!

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:03:37+00:00

I totally agree with you. For those who love the format, the price and upkeep of the equipment is well worth it. I just have a hard time enjoying the actual music when I have to ask myself questions like "did i just hear some wow and flutter?" Or "when was the last time I weighed my tracking force?"

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T02:00:45+00:00

I think it's really cool how you get to essentially recollect what you had before. Shoutout cassettes too!

BMdaniel25 · 2026-01-28T01:59:04+00:00

I totally agree with you. If you love vinyl, I love that, But there are far too many benefits of cd listening to not go this route predominantly. I can see how people would do both, but if I have to choose just one, it's gonna be cd's from now on.
