A very thought provoking thread with, quite diverse views, but from a personal perspective, the whole vinyl thing gives me the buzz, and I will travel distances to listen to vinyl (dependent on certain criteria obviously) but I cannot percieve going to a venue and "looking" at MP3 or similar downloaded formats in micro sales boxes, or travelling distances to hear music in any other format than vinyl......the thought frightens me.....must be an age thing....ah well I'll get my coat and take my ball home....For me it's vinyl or nowt,
