Vinyl***What If***

Audio Technica AT-LP7

Orpheus and Raul.

I will give you guys my daughter's tel number and you can tell her she cannot possibly be enjoying listening to her albums.

You can expound and wax lyrical about why this is so.

Let me know how that works out for you.

Here is what I learnt about vinyl after 20 years in this hobby. The more you spend, the better your setup gets, the closer it sounds to a good CD player. Eventually when you blow thru about $30K for table/tonearm/cartridge/preamp/cleaner, you'll get a system that sounds exactly as Chord Qutest. So "vinyl sound" is what you're after, don't blow a ton of money. More you spend, the closer to a CD it will be.

This is almost as good as the Marx Bros:

What do you fellows get an hour?

Ravelli: Oh, for playing we getta ten dollars an hour.

Spaulding: I see...What do you get for not playing?

Ravelli: Twelve dollars an hour.

....

Ravelli: Now, for rehearsing we make special rate. Thatsa fifteen dollars an hour.

Spaulding: That's for rehearsing?

Ravelli: Thatsa for rehearsing.

Spaulding: And what do you get for not rehearsing?

Ravelli: You couldn't afford it....

Prof, that reminds me of my first watch, it was Christmas and a "Micky Mouse" watch was one of my presents; it had a picture of Mickey on the face, and his arms and hands were the hands of the watch. I had to know what time it was every 15 minutes, that was the prettiest watch I had ever seen; I liked it better than I would have liked a Rolex.

I'm sure your daughters turntable sounds as good as any audiophile table to her young ears, and it delivers more than is required.

Happy listening.
