years of poor storage rendered 98% of the collection ruined. warped, mildewed etc.

it destroyed him.

my exact plan for my poster collection

I collect records. I've slowed in the past year or so. But I'll spend a bill a month still on 100 dollar records to 2 or 3 choice items. My girlfriend buys clothes all the time and some stuff gets worn once something else all the time, it's the same thing as my records.

I just talked to my older brother. He really into sound and the quality of sound. He's starting to get back into vinyl and he tells me that with a good needle/cartrigde and a decent turntable and music that was recorded non digital. That the sound is way better than digital. I guess digital get compressed and you lose alot compared to what is put out from vinyl. I know there alot more to it than that but, music and that quality of music has always been his thing.
Of course he want's me to go by so he can let me hear the difference
