Is Vinyl Worth It


Great cartoon in this week's New Yorker magazine. Has a caption: 'The two things that really drew me to vinyl were the expense and the inconvenience'. Sounds familiar.

Everytime I acquire a newer piece of quality digital gear. The more my historic fondness of vinyl becomes less of an issue.

My advice to newbies is sample the latest and greatest digital gear available if you have the funds before going retro. Unless retro is just your thing. I am a hybrid. I like it all.
"Listen critically just long enough to find good sound, then forget about it. Take it from one who spent too much time doing the opposite!"

Sage advice, I totally agree!
Yes, in my humble opinion it is worth it. No other music medium I have tried brings on the emotional engagement of good quality vinyl playing on a really good analog system. Using a tube preamp and amp also add to the pleasure. Humans are internally wired for analog.
