Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it

I'm standing here on the vinyl cliff,peering over the edge...I had a TT in the eighties & nineties, an AR with the Underground Sound mods by George Merrill from Memphis, TN. It got destroyed in a series of moves, and my vinyl disappeared. I have a perfectly good CD player(Denon 1650AR),EAD PM2000 amp & EAD Ovation plus prepro, & thiel 2.3's. I would need a phono preamp before I could run whatever TT I obsess over enough to buy, as the Ovation has no phono stage. Push me over, or save me! mb

Vinyl is as vinyl always has been. Nuff said I have no desire to go back.

Mod the player no stock player will touch it for anywhere near the price. Of course that depends on what they are modding for 900. And by the way Thiels and tubes are a wonderful match.

Buy used equipment and a couple of albums if you like then you can always dive deeper. If not you can sell all the stuff and not lose much money.

I agree with Dgarretson. This is why I decided to support one format. And besides I can't stand surface noise (snap, click and pop; sounds like the rice krispy characters) and I don't care how hard you try you can not eliminate it 100%.
