Oh, BTW, it's been too long since I followed any of the "vinyl"
aficiaonado stuff, so that's about all I can say on the subject. It's
maybe even a bigger debate (analog vs. digital) than, say, KDE vs. Gnome.
The flip side of the argument was well presented a while back in an issue
of "The Sensible Sound" - which is a nice mag, BTW, if  you're into audio.
(Unless you're waaaaay out on the fringe, in which case you're probably
reading "The Audiophile Voice".

Yeah, I know. This is pretty OT. Sorry.
