| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Not getting the surgery, too many risks. | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Thanks to all for the kind words. | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Eventually I will invest (inheritance) in a better analogue rig. The ASR Basis Exclusive phono stage is on my radar. Maybe a top off the line VPI from Audio Classics. I do like the Tri Planar tonearms but not sure what tables they fit well with. T... | |
| Really On The Cheap soix,, If you didn't see my other thread, I'm trying to come up with out of pocket costs for surgery, so no new headphones for now but thanks for the reference. Wish I could afford a pair of the top of the line Grado Statement headphones. I could ... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? ghdprentice, I understand your situation and I’m glad your experiences are as such. I could not come within a fraction of what you’ve invested in your analogue gear. My total investment where it pertains to equipment, including tweaks, cables, etc... | |
| Speakers Corner Releases - Any Good I have two mono releases, Clara Haskil and Glenn Gould. They’re both well worth the asking price. If your looking for the Bugatti of analogue remastered pressings, check out The Electric Record Company https://electricrecordingco.com | |
| Burned Out I spent some time in Odessa, Ukraine. I don’t know if I’d buy products there unless I went through someone I knew personally. I’ve seen shops there that lasted only a few weeks before they either moved or disappeared altogether. Most folks in Ukra... | |
| I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo. pindac, I did look up Steinway loudspeakers. I was surprised to see that they are still in production. Any idea what the flagship model retails for? | |
| Best Brahms Third Symphony Herbert von Karajan is my favorite Brahms interpreter. He was director of both the Berlin and the Vienna. | |
| I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo. I’d recommend a pair of Quad electrostatics. I have a pair of the 2905’s powered by an ASR Emitter II Exclusive, an Ayre DAC with a Bryston media player. The speakers are very temperamental in the way they are positioned but the results are beauti... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? reubent, if you process the entirety of what I said, my comment was reflective on the point that 95% of new classical recordings are in a digital format. I'm sure that you have friends who love classical and collect classical vinyl but they are co... | |
| What is the average life expectancy of a DAC? I bought my Ayre QB9 in 2007 based on hearing it at the dealer. Ayre has offered two upgrades since and the sound of each were worth it. So I have a current Ayre DAC but originally bought in 2007. I would research and try to find a company that wi... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? The thing about my vinyl collection is that it's very unlikely the majority of my pressings have ever been reissued. A lot of mono Archiv Produktions from the 1950's so getting rid of them would mean never hearing them again. They're not worth a l... | |
| I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo. If your Steinway sounds like a banjo, you probably need a restoration so call your piano tuner. Aside from that, I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? I can check but classical titles are rarely all that valuable unless it’s a Johanna Martzy or something like that. The other problem would be selling that rare LP that’s worth $2,000.00. A record to me is only worth a lot if I’m able to sell it. P... |
