I’ve had over the years numerous different systems. What I really enjoy these days is simply listening to the Radio (on the internet) I’m surprised how good some stations sound but I like not listening to or for SQ as much as it forces me to just listen to music for musics sake. Not to say I don’t have a good system 😏
Is it all worth it?
Do you ever get the feeling when you start to question whether playing records is really worth it all?
You know with everything involved with great record playback.
The setup, the cleaning regime, the $1000 plus cartridges that start their finite lifespan as soon as stylus first touches vinyl and spirals into less and less value with every play.
All the tweaks involved, cables, mats, isolation etc.
Then the media itself with it's inevitable disapointments.
Don't you just like to push a couple buttons on your phone app and be listening to great sound with a worldwide catalogue at your fingertips.
Or is it that when all of it lines up and the sounds are just sublime, then yes you sit back with a wry smile and say...
Yep, it's all worth it!
