Same here. In fact, I still repair record players, cassette decks and 8-track units as a hobby. That said, I'm not about to sit here and say the modern vinyl thing is anything but a gimmick. As I said further in my reply, it's fine to like the gimmick, but let's not sit here and pretend something is somehow being kept alive or pure by particiating in it. Vinyl had its time, and that time has passed. There are better ways to listen, now.
