Recently dusted off my player (a rega 3 with ortofon blue) and played some vinyl and compared to the streaming version. Really happy to again be able to hear the music as it was recorded. Really mad about the media companies that have been fooling us to sell our vinyls and to buy their extemely bad cd transfers. Especially the music from 70's and 80's that's hard to listen to on cd because of removed bass and mid, compressed dynamics and sharp edges on voices and guitars. Supertramp Crime one example. I wouldn't say vinyl is "better" than cd. Vinyl is good enough, cd should theoretically be better. It's how you do it that matters.
When a serious company really try there are lots of examples when the cd version actually sounds better - cleaned up without adding compression and edges. It's a jungle looking for the best recording. Will certainly rebuild my vinyl collection of older recordings!
Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?
It Maybe a little strange to ask this question here since clearly this is a forum for folks still loving and using Vinyl.
So I am looking for some feedback from folks that play very little of their LPs these days and have decided to sell all of it (or already have). I have thought about it for years seems like a hassle trying to sell your TT and or your record collection, that is mainly why mine stays put (not because I use it).
Anyway if you have sold - (Not if you’re keeping it forever)
Have you regretted it?
Or is to nice to reduce the clutter and happily move on?
Some people would never sell their analog rig and collection, I get that.
