I just got my LP player...

But it is much harder to find more obscure bands on vynil.

Lies. Most obscure bands release special editions of their albums on vinyl or make vinyl-only releases very, very often.

The bittie started collecting vinyl a little while ago, but she didn't get much beyond some Venom, Celtic Frost and Dimmu Borgir. They sounded fine, but a band can get the same effect by recording with analog instruments and then putting the music on CD.

No, they really can't. I have CD and LP versions of the same records- the SAME records- and I can say for sure that, even if a band's music is recorded on analog, transferring to CD still requires that they transfer the music to digital- and it makes a difference, and not a good one at that.

Trust me, LP sounds better.

If the sound engineer knows what he's doing, losses will be minimal. I still prefer analog sound, but CD really isn't that bad, especially after years of live shows destroy your hearing..
