Quit vinyl?

You may also like to know that many top audio equipment designers from companies such as Audio Note, Ayre, Linn, Musical Fidelity, and many other japanese electronic giants only listen to LP all the time in their home. The digital formats whether they are CD, SACD, DVD-audio are only made for commercial reasons. For sound quality, vinly is king, period.

You're already kicking yourself in the head...

Coffee Nudge's post was great. It is the same response that i've heard from many others AFTER they've had their records cleaned and phono systems properly dialed in. After listening to their "reasonably priced" digital gear for a long time and forgetting about their records, cueing up a record on a decent vinyl rig is like a breath of fresh air and quite the ear opening experience. As others have stated, sell the table if you must and sell off the discs that you don't really care for, but hang onto the discs that you really enjoy. That many LP's doesn't take up that much space and they may be worth way more than that small amount of space should you decide to give vinyl another chance sometime soon. Sean

Thanx for the responses, guys. I decided to keep the gear, and ditch some (well..... I guess about about 300) records. I will move the remaining records to another closet, out of sight but within reach.
When I looked at the records some of them brought back fond memories, which alone are worth more than the music they contain. The same goes for the turnable, I had quite good fun playing around with it.
I also discovered that my musical preferences have changed throughout the years, from mainly hardrock/heavy metal on vinyl to all kinds of other music on cd. I don't know if I'll be buying vinyl again, but I do know I want to keep some records. And maybe, after I figured out my amp problems, I might start working on the TT again. Oh well, it'll keep me of the streets....

Satch - There is great music out there in vinyl format, both used (which is very fun to hunt by the way - and new releases (quite costly but equally worthy).

You won't regret it, enjoy...
