3. Yo
Most of my audio collection's still on vinyl — probably about a 3:1 ratio.

5. I have a few, but nothing on which to listen to them currently.
That will be remedied in the not too distant future I hope.

7. Not yet, but
I'm asking for a turntable for Christmas.

One of my good friends recently received about 300 vinyl records and a turntable from his dad when his dad moved. He has been rubbing it in ever since. I need a turntable just to return equality to the friendship.

10. No CD could ever replace my vinyl copy of "Saturday Night Fever"...
The Bee Gees simply can't sound the same digitally... PERIOD.
