You know,

I have fond fond memories of when I was growing up, my dad would play his phonograph records on high end audio equipment that was utterly astonishing to me. I mean, records were, well, records….and yet he had a setup that reminded me of an air traffic controller site.

In today’s digital era, one would think that vinyl records are long since history. But puttering around online shows that’s simply not true! Take

• VPI Industries

Around in business for 25 years, they have a sterling reputation in many of the high end audio forums that I frequent (take this posting, VPI Customer Service ROCKS! for example).

Speaking of high end audio forums, have you seen:

• Audio Karma
• Steve Hoffman Music Forums
• Vinyl Asylum
• Audio Review forums
• Vinyl Engine
• Very Good Plus Vinyl

I have a vivid memory of my father showing me the record for a recording of the 1812 Overture….the grooves were so wide for the cannon shot part, it made an indelible impression on me (how did they get the music into those tiny lines?). Ah, memories….

ThankYouVeryMuch!
