Ah ah ah Boston! I don't like much (though I may have watched a video posted around here that I think he was part of the group- Boston - talkin' about techniques for mastering LPs---very informative )
My first LP I bought was Business As Usual ((though I may have watched a video posted around here and found 'connections' from famous groups from the'70s, probably Lynird Skynird but probably not...ah ah )

Been listening to A Moon Shaped Pool by Radiohead
Not my favourites, again... but the usual LP was indeed 2 discs at 45 RPM and it sounds (present tense) better...at least I could hear infrasonics Ha aH !
Near infrasonics...what do you pretend from a 6.5" ?! Two, yes
BTW the 2nd LP I bought was Rio - ehm, Duran...Duran
ah ah ah urban dictionary about 'paint-peelers' says that it's nasty
Ok, I'm not gonna tell the fabolous rap years that came after ...
The Eighties ended with G'n'R's, right?

"Paint-peeler" is my term for recordings with grossly exaggerated treble. They don't actually peel paint (as far as I can tell), but they can drive everyone out of the room. 😉

I spend a lot of time in my car, do you think I will be healthier if I use the vinyl?

Probably not. Changing sides every 20 mins or so will get you in trouble with the authorities.

An automotive turntable would have to be specially engineered to handle the vibration and g-forces, would probably have a heavy tracking force and have pickup heads on both sides with reversible motor drive to allow automatic side-changing. Has anyone ever tried this?
The roads around here make CDs skip. Even good ones. What am I going to do, sit and listen to it in the parking lot?

LPs never did anything good for my health. Is that mistracking or the disc? Oh, it's the disc. Is that distant gunfire in the recording or the disc. Oh, it's the disc. Is that the surf I can hear in the distance? No it's the disc.
And so on. All on discs purchased new in stores.
I for one welcomed our digital overlords with open arms. Though I do regret the loss of the gatefold sleeve and legible liner notes...

A good TT setup is a joy in my opinion. I listen to 95% vinyl and can't be happier. No desire to stream except maybe to sample some new artist. A good cartridge/phono-stage goes a long way towards quiet playback. There is a bit of a write-up on Analog Planet of my system if interested.

Yikes. That's some serious TT. Vinyl can offer some very good playback but you have to be prepared to spend to get the best out of it.
My experience was that I was unable to hear my way around the inadequacies of vinyl and was really fed up with trying to get 'clean' pressings of the music I wanted.
As DACs improved what I would have spent on a really good MC cartridge would get me a meridian CD player that gave me superb CD playback.
So I went full on CD, stopped buying vinyl, though I kept what I had and the TT etc.
These days I rip CDs and have ripped most of my vinyl as flac and I'm content to stream through a good DAC.
I was happier too...
