There's something about the allure of listening to music through a turntable. There's almost a sense of theatre involved which is what initially drew me in. I got hooked onto collecting after I realised how listening to music through records forces you to sit and appreciate what you're hearing, more than any other medium.

There's always a sense of doubt that new collectors have before diving into the world of records. The question of whether the investment into a turntable and the subsequent records is worth it or not lingers for quite some time, but the raw excitement that you get the moment you set up your system and put on your first vinyl; it sticks with you forever. So if your only question is whether it's worth it, trust me, the answer is yes!
