Top 10 Myths about Vinyl Records

I'm taking a break from the eBay listings for a sec to bring you something I thought was very interesting (and you might, too if you dig the vinyl). It's a really cool list from the folks at Record Pressing. They recently posted a blog called “Top 10 Vinyl Myths”. They're listed below but I encourage you to read all the details on their blog. Click the link below to see their explanations.
