I like both. Vinyl is fun because you have to more actively deal with it, which keeps me engaged with listening.

CDs are good because they are cheap and I grew up in the 90s, so I like the selection. There are some things you just can’t get on vinyl. They are also nice because you don’t have to flip them.

I had an old receiver so I just picked up a cheap dvd player with OSD to handle playing CDs and it has worked really well. I just switch inputs depending on my mood for maximum nostalgia.

His whole bloodline. I’d do the research, and make sure I get his family tree.

Money is, for sure.

I’d do up to $200 for nostalgia (given inflation and component prices like RAM).
