Hi Def digital is going to surpass analog playback at some time in the near future. It will be cheaper and more convenient as well. If I didnt have 4k+ albums that Ive collected over 40+yrs I wouldnt bother with vinyl. Indeed, if I could get back a 1/4 of what Ive invested Id quit now. Make friends with an analog fool and make 24/96 recordings of the records they have that you like and youll be way ahead. Just ask some of my friends.
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
