The warm sound and sound quality is what i'm after, along with the new hobby of collecting my favorite vinyls.

The debate from CD over vinyl quality is still ongoing. Basically what you need to take into account is that most people use poorly built stereo 2.0 speakers. In order for brilliant sound quality and surround sound you'd need a decent PCI/PCI-e soundcard and decent built 5.1 speakers or 7.1 if you have a much bigger room. Same applies with turntables, if you have a cheap new one then it's not going to persuade anyone that CD audio quality is worse because it is in fact better when you play vinyls on that piece of shit.

You need a decent built record player at least an the entry level turntables to get a hunch of the real sound quality you see these turntables at $500+ produce.

On another note, I was stoned when I wrote the thread. I don't care. I thought a few people here would own a turntable.
