What is your vinyl commitment?

Last year, I spent the equivalent of about $15,000 on acquiring a used Klimax LP12 and bringing it up to the then current spec. This included a new plinth, Karousel bearing and Radikal 2 motor/power supply upgrade. All in, that’s about half the cost of buying new. Just as good sonically and visually, but with the downside of not knowing how long the cartridge will last. I can’t see me ever changing anything else about it, given the cost of Bedrok.

Technics 1200G + Hana Umami Red cart + Herron Audio tube phono preamp came to about $12K or so.

Probably around $2K.  I’m mainly a digital guy.  My analog is actually kept in a second system because it is more commensurate with the gear in that system than the main rig, and it’s also the room where the LPs are stored
