"You spent how much on that cartridge?"


Should there be a ratio of the amount of vinyl to the cost of your playback system? A recent thread implied that you should not have a nice rig unless you own a lot of albums. Almost like one does not qualify.

I want to enjoy listening to the relative-to-some few that I own without compromising. I agree that if you have little to no familiarity with the format, you should enter gingerly. But once you've decided you like it, why accept mediocrity?

I agree with @lewm as I do on most topics. But I will say, the less albums you own (or have owned) the less you really know what albums sound like on your system and therefore might be a bit harder to find a cartridge that fits your system and taste.

As long as report back here and honestly report your cartridge findings here in the forum,  go ahead and mortgage that house !

Just like records, can we count odd ones and those with holes in?
