Yeah, I don't really think records sound better either..  I've also heard that due to the limited amount of space available on a vinyl album, some vinyl versions of songs are shorter than the version available for CD & other formats.

Another thing I heeard not too long ago, that I didn't really think much about before, is that the inner grooves of a record isn't as able to reproduce high frequencies as well as the outer grooves.  Since records turn at a constant speed, there's less and less area as the groove gets toward the center, which means less surface available to record audio information.

DM> those beautiful 12" sleeves. It is a hobby though and more power to you!
DM> If you find out how those laser record players work/sound, be sure to let
DM> us know. :-)

I doubt I'll find out any time soon, due to those laser turn tables being so expensive.  I've never actually seen any place selling them in my area either.
