Whats on your turntable tonight?

I'm with Brian about having physical media.  I do intend to add a digital front end at some point.  And for the same reasons as outlined by several, above.  Analog, physical media still rules in my life.

That said, yest Steve, I still want to upgrade my analog rig.  I'm just not satisfied with what I have and yearn for another level up.  That, I feel confident, will be my last analog rig (though I will likely add a second tonearm for cartridge options, etc.).  I am looking at upgrading my speakers first, and then the decision on the analog rig.  Like I said, I am not getting any younger...

Wow….fun stuff there.

@bkeske-Brian, it’s amazing me as well.  I’d forgotten I had many of these records.  As I mentioned, “30 years since they had seen daylight” was a bit conservative.  Actually it’s been more like 35 years.

Equally amazing is how well the vinyl has held up.  I didn’t expect miracles given my previous turntables/cartridges were very brutal to the grooves.  But I’ve been pleasantly surprised.  

Turns out many of the UK pressings withstood the torture better than some of the  US pressings.

Oh, a big + for Siouxsie
