Well - here I am : one of those fresh new faces on the idm list, and

VINYL RULES !!! No doubt in my mind that the sound is 'warmer' and
a better tone can be achieved, especially when running your output
through a pre-amp. CD's, however pristine in their clinical clarity,
somehow lack the soul of a really good vinyl pressing.
Unfortunately it's *hard* to find current vinyl here (South Africa).
Most available vinyl is 80's rock in junk shops or 12" 4-on-the-floor
dance stuff.
