Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE.

@pedroeb yet you stream your digital content, upload, download, or play a CD and run that signal through a Digital to ANALOG converter and push that signal to your amp. So what is your point? 
Analog to Digital to Analog. 
Talk about delusional…. 

I love the sound of Vinyl but not the care and feeding it requires. I used to rip Vinyl and listen through my PC/DAC/Music Server to this day. Very rarely did I break out a disc to spin. I used to do a first play onto cassette before the digital age saved me so much trouble.

Screw Vinyl and the greedy flippers that buy and sell it for profit. I sold my collection many years ago and have never looked back.

I have friends with excellent Vinyl rigs and collections. So I go to their places when I want to hear some LP’s.

The Analog Kid is now a Digital Man !

Man, what is with the obsession with the so called crackle and pop? I have very little of it, and even when it exists, it is not bothersome, as the music sounds great through a great analog set up. I will say it, if you are not into records, you are missing out...such a shame. Even my freakin thrift store finds sound awesome! All nice and cleaned up with my record dr V. You are also missing out if you are not into cassettes and Cassette decks...not the cheap A$$ ones, the nice 3 head Naks and Awai decks of the day. People crap all over cassettes because they never heard them on a great deck. Look at John Devore’s videos....he’s got some nice decks....I'm sorry, but some people are screwy...

thanx to CEDAR NR, i can sorta enjoy the sound of vinyl at least in real time. much of my music is restored dubs of LPs. i have always been extra-sensitive to surface noise, wow from warps, inner groove distortion, subtle mistracking damage from previous owners of records i have. lordy i'd love to have me one of those ELP machines. 

Dear @jerryg123 :  Don't buy it if you don't own between 500-1000 LPs and even that don't buy it if you don't have a wealthy pocket to really enjoy MUSIC enjoy those LPs and even that do not buy it if you don't have high knowledge and skills levels to make your self  overall cartridges/TT/tonearms/Pono stage set up and finally do not buy a TT if you have not enough patience to make that that analog rig be as good experience of listen MUSIC as the best digital set ups that today no matters what is a " little " superior to the analog experiences other than live MUSIC.


Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,
