I’m in it now, only b/c many of the records I’m chasing are crazy money- thousands of dollars in some cases. Not only do I not want to spend that kind of money on a single record-- i’m a retired pensioner living on my investments- but do you really want to think about the value of that every time you cue up such a record?
I’ve started to buy older CD issues of some of these obscurities in hard rock, proto-metal and psych- prog.
Plus, I’m actually amazed at how good the digital sounds, even using a cheap, old CD player. I intend to optimize my digital front end.
I don’t think this is crazy at all, at least from my row in the peanut gallery.
Inna- You must have gotten up on the wrong side of the bed today! You are usually far more diplomatic even if you disagree with somebody.
