However done buying vinyl now. Lucky I started decades ago, prices have gone through the roof.
this is incorrect. Adjusted for inflation, new releases are no more expensive than they were 50-60 years ago.
Excellent sounding LPs
To follow up on my post about “ Playable LPs” is a question I was really trying to get at. I used the wrong term in “Playable.” What I’m really trying to ascertain is what percentage of LPs sound really good on your system? I have 2000-3000 LPs but they vary widely in SQ. I’m sure you would agree 90% is not the case.
So, to rephrase my question, what percentage of your records are near or at audiophile quality?

True, but for some of the boutique audiophile reissues (UHQR, One-Step, ERC, etc) the prices are really kinda nuts. Standard reissues like Tone Poet Blue Note, Craft OJC, DG The Original Source series, etc are more reasonable. I can buy nearly 5 Tone Poet releases for the cost of a UHQR 45 shipped from Acoustic Sounds (and I prefer 33 RPM anyway). |
Too all a question l can’t answer myself and a little off topic….. I have always wondered why do some posters feel compelled to tell others what’s playing on their turntable? l can’t see the point. Maybe a question for a discussion on what makes other Hi-Fi enthusiasts tick? Just enquiring and wondering what’s the curiosity value of it, and possibly what an analyst would make of it all. Is it a form of attention seeking? I’m having a roast dinner party tonight. Would anyone like to know what meat and veg l’m cooking up? Any suggestions what music l should play? Should they all be (back on topic) great recordings? Get my point?

@faustuss “Check my post in What’s on your turntable tonight?” I have looked…. It was more than l could bare not to, so l did it. I had to laugh…. I have the LP, great recording so l can slip it on for another laugh. One of my quests is an actual (but not living) “Carpenter”.😀 |
