Not as much activity on analog here

Whart,
"Ultimately, it's a personal question; i have found that over the years, my focus has changed, and changed again, sometimes I am on a mission w/ respect to upgrades, and other times, I've gone through periods where I didn't even bother with serious audio".

I couldn't agree more with you. We often find ourselves re-discovering, re-organizing, re-thinking, re-inventing, and re-doing!

Me, now I find myself simplifying my system.......again. Reducing cost and finding the right synergy.

Tandberg 3012A, Stanton ST-150, ATML170/occ, Triton 7s, Straight-Wire Maestro, everything from used market for less than $2,000.00 all together.....Sweet!!!!

More importantly, putting back $5,000.00 on my savings account after selling most of my rather expensive equipment.

I just love analog and the fact that spinning records never gets old!

Facebook is why.

Help out jump on a turntable now!!

Searching for whatever in our hobby imply investment.
As should be known there is a shortage of investment everywhere at present.

When I started my journey in the early 90's, I had nothing. Don't forget, that was the time where EVERYBODY said and wrote that anlog is dead and will be buried in the next years. I went to several Dealers, charged their Demo room and did compare Vinyl and Digital. My investments were done in Analog. My Dealer said "You want W-H-A-T???" A turnable, a cartridge and a Phonostage, please...
In the following years I had top of the line Digital and listen to those Demos until today. It is made for mass market, entertainment but until today I NEVER heard a Digital combo sounding like the real thing with 10 CD's in a row.
Analog is a chain, Arm, Table, Cable, Cartridge, Phonostage....RCM... a lot can be done wrong but....when done right, it can send you into the recording session.
No matter what you or we think, in a few years Analog is the ONLY High End (no matter what quality). It can be seen, it can be touched, the Owner "does" something and at least he can watch a unit which spins... :-)
HiRes Download? Give me a break...the next joke is prepared.
