So do I....

This guy is wearing the same good old vintage Adidas sneakers that I love so much:

They appeared on the market for the first time in 1979, and Adidas has done some great reissues of this lovely classic lately....

I used to wear the tan Tobaccos.

I have at least eight pairs myself. I built a headphone tree from scrap lumber for them.

Nobody gave me my best fitting pair, Sony MDR-P1, which were introduced around 1990?

I'm wearing them NOW

Glad you're still getting use out of those. I'm still quite happy with the other pair I picked up in that deal, some AKG K240s.

Ah, an early pair of K240 sextett's....

I modificated the pair that I have complete; new drivers (50mm 32 ohm ones), rewired them inside, fitted a new cable with the 3,5 mm / 6,3 mm adapter and some new ear pads.

Back in the groove. Really?

Yet another article on the vinyl revival in the UK.

The numbers don't really add up. 0.8% is just ridiculous AND people buying records who have no turntable...

Is this really a strong comeback?

I won't even mention the cost of new vinyl these days either.

I buy new releases on vinyl sparingly, due to their expense. I still prefer the old vinyl than the new vinyl. It seems unfathomable that people would like to own the records without having a turntable. That means those owners appreciate the artistic element of the jacket. Maybe those copies will remain sealed? Vinyl, mostly used vinyl, has definitely increased in sales from my viewpoint in my little part of the world. There's nothing better than getting a primo copy of a 30-40 year old record. I have an older record valuation guide, and a few of those thrift store vinyl LP buys are worth over $100 each.

Only newer releases I buy are just that, new releases of current bands, mainly Stoner genre. Regarding the old original lps, I have to agree. That's my main hobby and I have lps worth hundreds of dollars. When I have the money, I don't think twice about laying out that kind of money for a minty example of something I need

The collector element... I admit I am a collector as well as a listener. I own lps I will never listen to just because they are collectible. If you were ever into "collecting" you know what a pain in the ass and time encompassing thing it is to track down certain things in the best possible condition that are grails of that specific hobby

Sometimes it's just a rush to pick it up and know that it's yours while others look and drool. Chasing records is a lifelong passion, something the casual listener will never understand

I am listening to a Lynyrd Skynyrd soundboard recording on vinyl now from 1973. Back in the day, this (and tape) was the only way to enjoy things that otherwise you'd never get to hear. Kids today don't understand that since anything they want to listen to is just a quick search, click and download/listen

I used to know a girl that was a big fan of a particular band. While she had no interest in vinyl, she had their first two albums in lp format. Even I found it odd she was able to find those titles, at the time. I guess in a situation like this its not necessary to own a turntable. She had them still sealed in frames on the wall for display.
 
And what is with the MP3 download codes that come with some records?

So you buy the album (and don't play it), but get a digital copy. An expensive way to acquire music.
