I bought some old 33s at a garage sale over the summer of CDs that I own. After hooking my dad's marantz and amp to my aiwa mini-system, I was blown away at what I was missing. Sound wise, I found the vinyl to be much better. Again, the whole portability issues kills it. I don't hear that type of range in the hip hop music I'm listening to today. I think it's because they use the new digital equipment before they press it on vinyl. --markemmanuel http://www.markemmanuel.org/ -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
