Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?

I sold almost all of mine. Actually gave away is more like it. Believe it or not but back then everyone believed CD was "perfect sound forever" not disposable crap with the half-life of a floppy disk. For sentimental reasons I held onto a small number of LPs and my Technics SL-1700. Which all sat in a box for years until this Robert Harley guy planted a bug in my ear and got me motivated to dig out the box and give those records a spin. Was floored how such an old relic could sound better than a newer and much more expensive CD player.

Regrets? No idea if you will have regrets. Probably you yourself have no idea whether you will live to regret it. Dumping irreplaceable recordings. Who knows? But if you do, then whatever you do, do not under any circumstances go to BetterRecords.com and discover just how much some of those oldies might be worth and how good they might sound if only you could play and listen to them. Which you can't. Because you gave them away.

Money always seems like a poor replacement for something that natures one’s soul. I regret selling my 1978 Gibson Les Paul Custom in college. That’s why I will never sell my Fender Stratocaster I bought 6 months later at age 19. I can’t imagine ever selling my half dozen acoustic guitars or offloading my smallish vinyl collection. I go back to the music well far too often and cherish the tactile connection I have with the instruments and the physical vinyl. Perhaps I’m odd.

"Believe it or not but back then everyone believed CD was 'perfect sound forever'". Uh, not everyone ;-) .

If you have quality gear and buy 180g vinyl only then I don't see how you can beat it. Take for example Tull - Aqualung album. First track side 2 - Cross Eyed Mary. I once had a room full of people in their 30's. I played a gold master CD version of it, then followed with the 180g vinyl. They all nearly fell out of their chairs! All jaws dropped, and people impressed who hate this kind of music. Says it all really! For me, I'm 53. Sold everything in 89 when I left the UK to move to the US. 10 years ago I got back into vinyl. Now I have the luxury of only buying the audiophile grade albums and I have to say I've been more than happy!

"Reduce the clutter"....oh my god, did I read that right?
