by my crude calculations, where i just assume everything i bought would be $4 in shipping cost, i have saved $64 since i got prime in august. so i'm on track to more than pay for prime with the shipping alone, forget about the free video, music and ebooks.

Dang, yo, I'm just saying it's OK with me whatever he does with his turntable. I thought I was being supportive.
I can be snarky and supportive. I own a turntable but I don't listen to records with it. Records are a pain in the ass, and every time you play them you scrape off a layer of vinyl molecules. And they skip under hard cornering.
I still have a few LP's from my youth, but I never really believed the sound quality was superior, let alone decent. That whole needle friction thing as nostalgia doesn't work for me.
Without going into full audiophile mode, let me explain. In the early days of recording, mixing, and mastering digitally, there was a loss of resolution at each step, so the final product was crappy in quality. Add to that the super-cheap electronics they put in the CD players, and the result was worse than good analog. It's a lot like making enlargements from early digital cameras, or seeing artifacts on an LCD TV.
Digital recording and playback eventually surpassed analog, but there's still a difference between cheap digital and cheap analog, with the latter sounding more pleasant and musical to many. For the most part though, people play vinyl today for the emotional experience.

When I was in high school a friend of mine had this big ole car from the 50's, I don't remember the model though. It had a record player that would fold out of the back seat.
