I have a massive collection of vinyl including white labels etc.  Vinyl
is cool unfortunatly I can't afford to purchase a record player any more
because they are all either toys or out of my price range

I still believe the second play of a record is the best.  The first play
it's a little grotty but that second one is pure heaven.  CD's aren't
really compressed they just lose some of the information that you
shouldn't be able to hear anyway.  I had a friend that swore his
minidisk (which does compress quite heavly) didn't lose any quality. 
Pre-recorded disks where ok but home made ones where like a bad mp3.

you can even buy cd players for scratching ;-)  

The best thing about vinyl is you can go and discover some great new
(old) music for a couple of quid out of any second hand shop.  I can't
think of any time I would consider purchasing a cd that skipped on one
track, was slightly warped or scratched but you do that with second hand
vinyl all the time ;-)
