What to expect?

I am trying Vinyl for the first time since high school, I am in a bad financial situation so 2 friends here from AGON put together an entry level vinyl rig wich is an Onkyo CP1027F with an Audio Technica AT 92ED Cartridge with a PS Audio 4.5 phono pre. I am so grateful I cant say enough thanks, as I wait for these to arrive I wonder how well this will mate with my AMC transport, Theta pro DACII and Monarchy Audio DIP, I just wonder if I will catch enough of the vinyl magic to get hooked or will I want better performance at first listen (Isuppose I wonder how this stacks up against my red-book gear)...any ideas of what to expect? All the same I am still pumped about new gear and music to buy, thanka all....Chad

The PS AUDIO is in the mail now, I believe I am going to hook it up to a tape loop on my Rotel and use it as my volume control, I used to love records, and I know about cleaning and all that, I was a DJ back in the early mid 80's and it was all vinyl then. One thing that has me excited is the very thing Artemus made note of, I want to listen to deeper tracks and Vinyl will force me to do that, I think the convenience of CD can be a bad thing, I am really pumped about this new medium! I will add pics when it is up and running, thanks again for taking time to add to my post

$2 to $5 used lps is pretty sweet. The selection is so much better than used cds. You should have a blast.

dude, if your in as bad of financial situation as you say, you probably shouldn't worry about hi-fi too much.

Umm Readsterdude, that's exactly what makes us audiophiles. We're not that far off from being junkies.
