I still occasionally play vinyl (see my newest mix Classic Progressive Mix) but about 3 years ago I switched to using Torq DVS and Ableton Live. When I buy vinyl now, its either used or classic vinyl.

Once in a while I will drop some vinyl but for me it's all CDs. Just makes more sense both in terms of finances and the carrying of gear around.

Yes, I still buy and play vinyl. But I will also buy and play an occasional single CD, too. Don't plan on ever buying any downloads.

I only play wax. Only care about good music, not needing to have the latest and greatest, and there's been so much good electronic music released in the past 40 years... If there's something new that I really dig, I'll shell out for it, but on average, I'm paying around $3-$4 for older 12"s (most with 2 or 3 really good cuts) that most retailers sell for anywhere from double to 10x that amount. It's all about knowing where to look/bulk purchases/haggling.

If I end up touring again at some point, I may end up burning a lot of it to CD for the sake of convenience, but that isn't an issue at the moment - too busy with homefront projects.

Viva la black crack!

vinyl is long gone for me, im just a cheap guy, perhaps at a different situation i could have stayed with it. however, i do love pitch bend/sliding a lot more on digital tables compared to technics, im just so quick.

Originally posted by Mr.Mystery I mostly buy vinyl, actually. Sometimes CD's, but if I can I'll get the vinyl version. I have never bought a single digital file in my life and I don't plan on doing so any time soon either.

My thoughts exactly.

Vinyl purist present.

I was firstly a digital DJ, then went with vinyl. It's just different. That's all. No hating.

Used to own 2 1200's in 2003 and sold them a year or two later. 2007 I bought 2 CDJ 800's and I just recently sold them to buy another pair of 1200's. The main reason was because I found a guy selling 600+ techno vinyls from early 90's to early 2000 for 200$. Now I have a mountain of vinyl and will be modding the technics a bit so they can be used for audiophile use. Gonna be buying mostly used vinyl from discogs once my setup is ready. Old skool techno only.
