The ultimate question with regard to LP's, "How much do you value your vinyl 
discs"

Answer;

"Tell me what you use to play them, and I'll then know how much you value 
them"

What it comes down to, is this, the better your turntable and the better your 
cartigde and arm, the less damage is caused to your vinyl disc. That is all 
things being equal, ie. you know how to setup your arm and cartidge accurately 
and correctly, and you clean your vinyl before playing it, and before putting 
it back in to an anti-static sleave, and how much effort to store it so it 
does not warp.
