Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.

Hi Greg,

Yes I did just upgrade my cartridge, but what of it? I have always had a vinyl rig, starting with a Rega P2 and eventually moving to my SME. But even if I couldn't swing the SME, I would still have a turntable of some sort. In some ways there has never been a better time to get into vinyl - there are lots of very good and not very expensive turntable/arm/cartridge combos that play music very well.

At the end of the day, if you have the software, or want to give a shot "just because" then I think it's a worthwhile endeavor. And you can buy a satisfying vinyl rig for under 2K, if you shop carefully.

Tvad- I will remain in the same neighborhood. I wil however buy a new house and furniture. My Moscode 401hr has also foud a new home)-:(

Undertow, the 200 gram Classic Records reissues are very good.....i bought them 4 or 5 years ago when they came out. it was the best i had ever heard LZ.

then came the Box Set with the first 4 LZ albums boxed together with a 45rpm test pressing of 'Stairway'......i bought 3 complete sets just to make sure i had a 'lifetime' supply of 45rpm 'Stairway'.

then last summer i bought the complete LZ Classic 45rpm box set. if you get a chance to listen to it.....it will blow your mind.....and the difference between the 33 and 45 is huge.....sorry to say.

yes; in 1971 i was younger......but for music quality.....these are the 'good ol' days'.

side note; one of the engineers for Led Zepplin II, Chris Huston (his name is on the bottom right side of the inside cover), was the acoustical designer of my room and stayed overnight as a guest in my home during the room project. that evening playing music which he had produced and enginered was one of the most fun listening i have ever done. he had more than a few great stories to tell about recording LZ and others.
