well camelo, i have a turntable at home too lol but the thing is , me and some friends like to listen vynil cos u must know that the sound quality is better than CD and plus, vynil is nice cos we leave this playing and noone goes and skip track like a dumb f@#! xD so we can listem whole album while we talk shits and drink something.
i have some vynils of bad religion , rancid and others, iam going to buy some others soon.
and ye $300 a lot hehe, but here in brazil theres this issue, sometimes or u pay a lot to have something u want or u just dont buy, i dont care tho, when i want something i dont look much for the price xD.
Btw i have one of zilian rap iam sure u'd love xD.
