Of course, we live in the 21st century, and it’s really hard not to listen to music in digital format. They are practical and enable you to store enormous amounts of music in virtually no physical space. But, the indisputable fact is that the digitization of music has changed our listening experience. You can scroll through tracks and never listen to a song in its entirety, getting only the basic idea of the sound, lyrics, instrumentation etc. This is, for me at least, the first reason for buying a turntable. It enables you to actually own your music in a physical way. Yes, you also own music in this way when you buy a CD, but with the vinyl, that is bigger, you can also appreciate the artwork better. When holding a record, you hold a true work of art, music and image, and you really get to know the artist when looking to the album as a whole. An important factor to be considered when it comes to this great feeling of owning a record is the feeling of holding a piece of history in your hands. Thanks to the historical status of records in music history, you can’t help but feel special. Also, if you own an album on vinyl, you have to listen to the whole thing at once, no skipping tracks. That is also a fantastic way to get into a musician’s frame of mind and learn what the concept behind the album was.
