I sold my turntable and nearly all of my albums years ago. This was the Linn LP12, Ittok, Pink Link and whatever MC cartridge I was using at the time. I was tuning my system to the digital formats. My brother found an old TD150 that used to be mine. I did have a play with that after setting it up. Just no the same. These days it's pure streaming. I'm used to the wide bandwidth, dynamics and bottomless bass now so It's doubtful if I'll ever go back. I am still surprised how good albums sound considering the atrocious specs. I guess I'm a convert.
Do You Regret Selling Your Turntable and Albums ?
I"m out of room for hobbies and we will likely be moving to a smaller home. I don't want to wait until the last minute to sell things. That didn't work out well last time we moved. Time to downsize. Again.
I enjoy streaming music and haven't played vinyl in over a year. Did you sell your TT and album collection and did you regret it ?

Ah, regret? Well, my albums (56 years worth), SACD/CD’s, DATs, R2R tapes, turntable, audio and video components along with 3 vehicles, 2 trailers, guest house, tennis courts, pool, fruit orchard, and everything else we owned was destroyed in a California Wildfire that destroyed 19,000 structures, killed 85 people and countless animals. A wildfire (named Camp Fire) that nearly no one has heard of, bigger and deadlier than the Los Angeles fires. After 367 days residing in a hotel, 2 years in a rental house and 3 months in an apartment, moving into our new house was nothing more than suitcases. Silver lining, no weeding out of “stuff”, no packing, and no movers.

@smodking1 Ouch… I feel for you. What a sobering experience. I am personally moved and sad that that happened to you. Your circumstances really put into perspective the “first world problem “ of having regrets over selling hobby items in the past. Onward and upward… What I was going to contribute to the conversation ( before reading that heart wrenching story), is that I stored my TT and vinyl for many years (collection reduced thru divorce) until I was ready to retire, built a dedicated room in the basement and revived the whole Music Thing. Although I enjoy streaming, I mainly listen now to vinyl, cds and lately, SACDs. No regrets… |
