Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it

As Delmer said in the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"... I agree with you fellars!!!! (You too Elizabeth!)

Enjoy,

I tried it 3 times before deciding it just wasn't for me. But you have to try it to truly find out.

Hi, I am deep into vinyl land and it can sometimes be fun and frustrating. Here is something you might want to consider:

Vinyl is a commitment that needs your time, effort and patience. Since you have no LP's to start, you can still think it over before hastilly plunging into the void. The worse thing is that after spending your time, effort and money...(turntable, arm, cartridge, acessories, phono stage, cables, etc......oh forgot the software and cleaning machine) and finally deciding it's not 'yer cuppa tea! Then, all will be lost.

Think it over. Maybe the $ you'll spend on the analog rig can be better spent on upgrades to your current system, your room acoustics and bring you more joy when listening.

Anyways, best of luck whichever way you go.

Cheers,

Nope - Its a lot of fun... Not only do I like the quality of sound, but I really grove on my Rube Goldfarb looking VPI Superscoutmaster with all the wheels and pulleys. :)

My response is biased since i never really got into CDs. THe few that I have owned are typically trashed in less than one year where as I have albums I have owned since 1972 and play some vinyl that is almost 70 years old. I know you can keep CD's better than I took care of them, and CD's or tapes are more mobile than vinyl but oooh the sound is so much better and as my daughter says, vinyl is personal. you must get involved(clean, put arm on record, flip the sides, etc). Is it worth the effort, by allmeans
