A Few Photos that Prove Vinyl's Superiority as a Collector's Format

One of the main reasons that we love vinyl is that it's the perfect collector's format. It ages well. Like an old hard-bound book on your shelf, the physical object looks great in your home. There's a ceremonial aspect of thumbing through your collection and then putting the record on the turntable when you have company over.


We're music fans, and to us, there is value to having the physical object in our home that we can share and show off. It's our souvenir version of the music we love, the music worth keeping.


Here are a few photos that show you why vinyl will be here to stay, in spite of our high-tech, digital horizon.
