To many, it's the rituals involved. Pulling the record off the shelf, carefully removing it from its protective sleeve... the smell of vinyl fills your nostrils.... lifting up the turntable protective cover, setting down the record, gently wiping it off with the cleaning pad, setting the turntable RPM, lifting the tonearm and gently setting down the needle on the first track. It's a mesmerizing experience that is priceless.
