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 ?

How many hours a day do you spend listening to music? If it's only a small amount of time, it may be just as well to go all digital. I spend about 4 hours a day, so if I only had my digital rig, I might get fatigued. But switching from vinyl to digital keeps things fresh, at least for me.

I wholeheartedly agree. The benefits of having both are undeniable in my view. 

Each becomes the standard by which I judge the other, helping to keep my feet firmly on the ground.

 

@newton_john ”The benefits of having both……”

100% with you on your theory that bucks the trend of “less is more” 

Those who choose either analogue or streaming are potentially just listening to a lot more of less.

The minimum requirement is arguably to have both. Why should we more or less limit ourselves?

@mysteriousmrm “But switching from vinyl and digital keeps things fresh….” 👍

I sold it all a while back and don't really regret it. 

Ok sometimes I think I do. But then I remember why I sold it in the first place: lack of time to do the whole ritual properly. And I always thought if I didn't do the whole thing right (especially cleaning) then I should just thrown on a CD instead. So even when I had it, I didn't use it all that much, and it became a symbol of what I was missing out on due to life getting in the way.

If my vinyl rig was a theoretical 100% but I never took full advantage of it, then my digital setup is 95% and I use it regularly, I think that's a fair trade. 

Curious, how many albums do you have ? ... sorry if I missed that earlier
