Do You Regret Selling Your Turntable and Albums ?

Years ago I got rid of 3 or 4 fruit crates of albums. Lots of favorites. 20 years later I ended up purchasing the same content in CD format. Though I would've had to store them for decades, I'd certainly like to have them now. 

I still have my outstanding analog end and 2,000 mostly pristine and audiophile albums. Every few months, I feel that they somehow must sound better in some way. So I spin a disk. Then I listen to the same recording in streaming... and notice, it does not sound better. Then go back to streaming. 

So, I should sell my $45K analog end... but then, I might start getting nostalgic and start thinking vinyl sounds better and start investing again... I guess it is a deterrent to thinking vinyl sounds better, even though I know it is the components that craft the sound not the media...well other than surface noise and pops.  

I know I could put another $12K into a really high end cartridge and have it pull ahead slightly... but then that would only be for my 2,000 albums... if I put in the $12K into my digital end, it could sound a bit better for a million albums. 

So, I should sell it... I guess I am just too lazy. 

Nope don't miss records at all. They were good because that's all there was. Head the first c.d. bought an early player the disc played vertically. Sold my Thorens turntable with a Rabco arm and a year later my down stairs closet where the records were stored got wet from an unknown roof leak stuck the cardboard to the record ruined most of them so out they went. At that point even in good condition they were worthless every body had switched to c.d.'s. I know have a medium high end system with state of the art SACD player. No record comes close.

No.  I still have them but haven't played a vinyl album in decades.  My digital sounds great and I don't want to accumulate any more stuff.

Did you sell your TT and album collection and did you regret it ?

Yes, I sold my turntable and vinyl in 2019, against my dealer’s advice.

Yes, I did regret it despite spending a lot of money to improve the digital side. "Don’t it always seem to go that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone."

Five years later I returned to vinyl, again against my dealer’s advice. This decision I don’t regret despite the cost. I can’t say how much I am enjoying it now. Absence made the heart grow stronger.

The turntable was easy to replace for much the same money as I sold it for.

The vinyl, however, was harder to replace because it was collected over several decades. 

I estimate I may have lost as much £25,000 in value by selling the whole collection to a dealer as a job lot rather than listing the records individually on eBay. And I had to twist his arm to take them.

It was a massive mistake that I might not have made if I hadn’t been so focussed on a house move/downsize and undergoing major surgery at the time. I wish that I'd just put the records in the new loft for the time being - it wasn’t like I needed the paultry sum I got for them. They were already packed away in flight style cases so it wouldn’t have been difficult.
