I'm in kind of a similar position in that I have a decent rig (Thorens, Lounge, and Signet) with about 400 original records in excellent condition collected since the 60's (I've probably been more careful with my records than anything else I've owned!). Yet I find I spend almost all my time listening to Qobuz with a nice dac accessed through Audirvana. The sound is outstanding, and the convenience of being able to access almost anything I want using my iPhone without ever having to leave my chair is priceless. I probably will hang on to it though in case the internet ever goes down. ;)
Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig?
Hey All,
There once was a time when I looked forward to shopping for arcane mono classical and jazz vinyl. The anticipation of hearing a newly cleaned recording from 1957 that I didn’t realize existed until just a few hours prior. The satisfaction of owning 200 plus records. But now since I’ve upgraded my DAC and Transport, I’ve become disenchanted with vinyl. It still sounds musical but not nearly as close to a live performance as my digital setup. So I’m now I’m thinking about selling my ASR Mini Basis Exclusive MK 2 phono preamp and my modified Thorens TD 145 with AT 33 mono anniversary cartridge. I could put the money towards a surgical procedure that I’ve been putting off. Will I regret this afterwords? I don’t even know how much to ask for the equipment or whether someone would even take an interest in it. Any ideas out there?
