I don't know how many records you have, but IMHO, many of the old records 
that came on vinyl should stay on vinyl.  Many have been re mastered and 
cleaned up and reissued on CD's.

However, records are awesome.... there is so much stuff you can't get on 
CD's.  A lot of underground stuff.  I'm into the electronic/grooves/house 
scene.  Records are simply awesome.
