I hear there are even new turntables that do-away with vinyl and encode the music stream in 0s and 1s. This has the huge advantages of no noise, huge dynamic range, and media that never wears out. And they're smaller discs too. Truly, perfect sound forever.
Merrill tables
Anyone have experience with the "New" Merrill table? I owned one in the past. Bought it brand new in '84 for $900.00. The new ones look the same but they cost about ten times the original. I sold my table in '96 (should have just put it in storage). I'd like to get back into analog, I kept all my records but in these recessionary times reaching for a New one is tough! Are the new ones worth the price?
