> addicted to vinyl …

Actually, it's way too easy to get awful snap crackle and pop from vinyl, and digital media at least spare us that.

But the large format album art ... especially when labels went to the trouble of making it double, opening like a large book, even for a single LP ...

A lot of people say that digital is the way to listen to the music, because it doesn’t have the cracks and pops of the vinyl but in my honest opinion those are the things that makes listening to vinyls interesting.

Now a lot of people probably disagree with me, but having small cracks, pops and hissing sound (as long as they don’t hinder the listening experience) give the record an unique feeling. The record having these cracks and pops usually means it’s been used and liked.

But if you want the “perfect” experience, go for digital.

It's even nicer if you DJ and mix with two Technics turntables. The feel of vinyl is a big part of the fun.

Getting the best sound of a vinyl hifi system is another part of the fun (at least for me). There is a lot of things to tweak on a turntable that can improve sound: cartrigde alignment, use of different protractors, tonarm height, anti-skating etc.
