A Sad Day...


A very sad day, as I sold my analog gear. The VPI TNT V w/ Graham 2.2 and Benz Ruby 2. All morning I played some of my favorite lp’s from Louie Armstrong and Duke Ellington, to Jennifer Warnes “The Well” to Beethoven’s Eroica by the London Philharmonic with Bernard Haitink to Santana’s Abraxas to The Beatles’s Love Songs LP. Just to sum it up, not one of my Beatle cds even comes close to the realistic sound of the Love Songs lp. The buyer sat down with his own lps and smiled, as he said: This was the best sounding analog system he heard. He parted a happy fellow, as I began putting away my lp’s into storage to await another day when I can once again appreciate the beauty of vinyl.

I understand your sense of loss. As soon as you feel your skills are at the next level to which your studies are taking you, then see if there is a need by any company for new professional images which you provide in exchange for equipment, or discounts.
The real soul of your future analog rig is in the fabulous record collection that you are keeping intact. It won't be that long until those records spin again. Certainly, Jennifer Warnes does seem to connect with the listener in a very special way on vinyl, reminiscent of how Amanda McBroom touched many of us well traveled audiophiles in the good old days.
