Most of the members on here who are into vinyl will have put a lot of money into it, probably over the course of their adult life, and are in a good position to enjoy it. If I were starting out now, with no record player and no vinyl, I'd have to be very determined/well off to start out on that road. Chances are that I would be getting it all through streaming - a premium service can give a month's worth of pretty much everything that's out there for the price of one album on vinyl.
