2 years running now vinyl has outsold cd
Is it good stuff though? Some of it is claimed to be of the 180 gram "audiophile" variety.
My feedback thread is here.
Anyway, I bought the Audio Technica knockoff instead, it really is very good. How Technics haven't sued is beyond me, it's pretty much identical.

The heavier stuff's certainly nicer to handle, I'll give it that.
Personally, I won't bother with vinyl while I can get the same albums on CD for a third of the cost and get a more durable, more portable, more playable format that is much easier to convert to digital formats that are far more useful to me.
Many new release vinyl records now come with a download voucher that allows you to get the album in mp3 or FLAC format as well- that seems to me like the way to go, but they don't seem to be doing that with the classic stuff that the supermarkets are selling.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
But really it's that last point in @boogieman 's post. I listen to my Google Play subscription all day at work, but putting on a disc means you actually sit back and listen to it. No skipping tracks or winding back to hear a riff again, you listen to the whole album as the artist intended, and the concept of track order and 'sides' starts to mean something again as a result.
I have to say I've started to enjoy music a lot more again as a result.
Vinyl flooring?
