@audphile1 I have an EAT Eglo petit. If I were going to seriously pursue a great analog system, that is one of the things I’d upgrade. But I lost a lot of my vinyl collection while it was in storage. I probably only have 200-300 albums that are in good shape. was a bit of an audiophile when I was young, but then children, college tuition, and work got in the way. Now that the kids are out of the house, I find myself really enjoying streaming. It allows me to easily explore music that is new to me. And I can sit down and listen to 4 versions of Mahler 2, or endless tracks of a jazz standard. It fits my personality. So, I figure instead of spending thousands on more vinyl, I’ll spend that money upgrading the digital side of my system. |
@pdspiegel thank you for this suggestion. I see that Tascam used for a reasonable price. I think I’ll pick it up! |
@ghdprentice Ive spent more money on my digital front end than my analog. And I probably will continue to upgrade it. I’m usually very happy with the sound I’m getting while streaming. Sometimes it can sound better than the vinyl album I have. But there are times that my older vinyl still sounds better. I recently streamed an old Buddy Rich album that I have on Vinyl. It was originally issued as a direct to disc. The sound was compressed and the balance was all off. I don’t know what they did to it when making the digital file, but it was just bad. That being said, I will continue to enjoy streaming!
