I still own a turntable, phono preamp and 3,000 vinyl LP's. However, I only play digital. At this time in my life, I can't be bothered with the phono & LP ritual of finding the album cleaning it and re-filing it. Digital is too good and too convenient to be bothered with the antiquated process of playing a record. I find I listen to a lot more music because of digital....instant accessibility with outstanding sound is where it's at. ...and no, I'll never sell my records or the analog portion of my rig. |
I have 1000+ albums from my college days in the '70's in great condition. I had a good TT back then, and always cleaned each record with a Discwasher before playing it. But for me, digital is the way to go. I keep my albums for nostalgia and as wall decorations, but everything is digitized on a dedicated Roon server, and I stream with Qobuz. I just can't see going back to the old days of getting up every 20 minutes, picking an album, cleaning it, carefully putting the needle down, etc. My current TT is decidedly low end (Music Hall MM5), but I just can't see dropping the kind of $$ to get a really proper TT and cartridge, along with the inconvenience. Plus, with some of the albums that I have digitized, you hear the little pops and imperfections from the vinyl that are there no matter how good your TT rig is. So for me, digital is perfect every time and I don't miss playing albums, although I still hold them sometimes when listening to the album on Roon, LOL! |
I'm currently digital only. Tube DAC, and tube intigrated but when I finish the move and can properly set up the stereo rack with my 40 year old preamp. I just recently purchased a turntable and probably will occasionally spin some of the couple of hundred albums I've aquired over the last 50 years and some new ones but digital is so more convienent. My biggest issue now is the cats. The albums either have to be stored behind glass or some other scratch proof enclosure which I don't currently own.. |
