Vinyl is so lovely. I don't really have a nice setup but my Sennheisers can convey the music beautifully. My dad introduced met to the Red and Blue albums and to The Wall and I've enjoyed many vinyls since then. He's a huge Who fan himself, so he was really happy when I found a rare live album for him. It's great what music can mean to people.Also, I definitely have that Simon & Garfunkel album. Of my 100 records, only 10% (or yes, exactly 10) are "modern" music/releases. 70-80% of it is classic rock - Who, Creedence, Stones, Beatles, etc - and then there's a bit of classical in there too just to confuse everyone. I love my records. Sadly I don't have a nice enough turntable/set-up to play them all the time, but it's on my "upgrade if my bonus is big enough" list.
We just moved too. I feel for you, it really is no fun. Hope you landed in a good spot and that it went smoothly. I was concerned about what my daughter would think and as it turned out she really hasn't been bothered by it at all. My wife and I are two fish out of water though.
The sad part: I had some vinyl. The record player blew up. I got the books on fixing record players - the amp blew up. I bought an RIAA preamp from Rane - had to have it shipped special from Europe because Rane stopped making it (no RoHS-approved components for some of the boards). It never worked. And then I spot-checked a half-dozen of my records and found them all as .flac on what.cd. Considering all I was going to do was rip them and denoise them anyway, it made very little sense to keep up the charade. Then I didn't download the flacs. That is my sense on vinyl - fun for the gear fetishism, but not at all about the music.
