love my vynal have thousands,also many cds which i dont love but they are the lazy gits way i suppose,agree with accymel about the crackle on some vynal,more with the 70s onwards records i believe they changed the consistency of it in that period,i have a 1958 single (played 1000s) that plays perfectly yet many of my 70s (not played much) crackle like a chip pan, even so the crackles,to me give atmosphere of times.places, plus you can always reduce them if you wish by increasing the base. vynal = i love it.
