I started out DJing with CDs b/c I started DJing on the radio and I couldn't find the music I liked on vinyl in Iowa. About 2 years after I started my radio show (with assorted vinyl purchases along the way) I opted to buy my first 1200 to compliment my Denon 2x CD players. I think I lasted about three months before I bought the 2nd 1200, and this was in '94 when CD compilations were at their most revelatory for new initiates. Suffice it to say, I am now a vinyl devotee, and have been for many years. i would never have delved as deep into house or techno w/o vinyl purchses. It is simply impossible to have your finger on the pulse without a turntable right now, although the internet may change this in the next few years. Besides all of that, vinyl sounds 1000x better than CD once you acquire the taste for it. For instance, I bought Pole 1 + 2 on vinyl despite extra cost even though I rarely spin it, simply because I wanted to listen to it on vinyl when I'm in the mood. Vinyl is the template of the Gods.
