Same here. Vinyl is made from polyvinyl chloride. ---

Using the word “vinyl” as anything other than a noun when identifying a material, or as an adjective when describing an object, grates on my sensibilities the same way that using “gift” as a verb does. I hope no one ever “gifts me a vinyl.” I might have to assault them. ---

Never vinyls! Mostly call them records, but LPs is a good substitute. ---

Always been records to me. Whenever I am listening to a CD I still say I am playing a record, not spinning a disc. ---

Yes I left out 45’s 78’s and 12 inch singles. To me CD’s are just that though I could call them albums too. Never Policarbonets or Vinyls for records. ---

99% of the customers at the shop who use the word “vinyls” have a Crosley and also use the word audiophile. I cringe. ---

The Crosley owners may like music… in a very far stretch of the imagination perhaps…audiophile Hopefully oneday they might be befriended by someone who has a good setup and gets to hear for the first time and get a revelation of what this is all about… maybe… best wishes ---

The sad thing about that is if the do have an epiphany and realize what great sound is possible it will be too late for the records they ground up on the Crosley! ---

A friend called a CD an LP the other day. Seems wrong. ---

Perhaps those ground down by a Crossly could use a micro line type stylus that could trace the bottom most depths of the groove where hopefully some music survives unscathed… Best wishes ---

As a record collector, I am amazed by how good many records I have sound very good\>excellent. I have no idea what type of machine these records were played on but it seems that vinylite was/is a very durable material. My sense is that unless the Crosley users place coins on the tone arm these discs will survive the experience. ---

> [@aangen](#): > > Microline stylus types ride higher, not lower. Ooops …sorry goes to show …what do I know? There may be a stylus that reaches deeper into the groove… that could partly solve the problem of worn groove dsmage.
