That's all well and fine, but put your vinyl into your CD player and listen to the incredible sound you get.
Note: Vinyl albums require no less than four folds to fit in most CD players. Due to the limitations of the analog medium some distortion may be heard !

Clamp it in a mandrell and place that in a lathe, then gently turn the vinyl down to the correct diameter for a CD player.  Finally drillout the centre to the correct hole size and it will fit perfectly.
When people get lost in thought it's often because it's unfamiliar territory.

C.D. is two words. You whistle on the first with the "Ceee," and then you have the hard beginning in "Deee." The end is a vowel that just trails off to nowhere. 

Which would you rather hear?
 
The mistake here is not saying CD in a soft female French accent.....Confused

That's the best argument, ever... Vinyl wins, hands down.

I don't know what was on the CD, but I don't mind he didn't put it in his CD player... it sounded better than the vinyl. LOL

Nothing at all > Annoying sounds

You should be using the thinner, 90 gram vinyl not those bulky 200 gram ones. Think original "Crazy World of Arthur Brown" not original "Foxtrot".
It also helps if you pop it in the oven for a few minutes, makes the thing a little more pliable.
