@misty And most LaserDiscs often have the best audio presentations even today.
There's a blogger for example that analyse how the formats after LD is worse sounding for the most part.

...like how laserdisc collecting used to be this cute, fun thing for me because it was an affordable way to build a collection of interesting things, and now it costs a fortune.

Of course, I guess this means that used CDs are eventually going to get expensive the way that vinyl is today, so. If you ever think you'll get back into it, no time like the present.

I haven't really talked to young people who are getting into it, but aside from not being affordable anymore, I bet vinyl collecting isn't cool anymore because it's gotten so mainstream. I mean, Taylor Swift is putting out 10s of thousands of copies of newly-pressed vinyl. If you came of age in the era where vinyl's just normal again, you need something else that's both cheap and cool.

It's been interesting seeing CDs get to the place that vinyl was in the early 00s. I've been hearing that young people have started getting into collecting them, which honestly makes sense - they're everywhere and, mostly, very cheap. Which makes it an affordable way to discover music.
Vinyl was the same way for many years - totally dead commercially, and cheap in thrift/record stores because no one was buying it. Lotta vinyl collecting was broke people collecting music a way they could.
