my original statement did have too much drama, but the point is....audiogon has gobs of used and new tables/arms/cartridges that compete with the best digital, and with analogue there is more information on the software to begin with.....records are a pain in the ass, but they're big and beautiful.....still a sucker for the art too.
Analog point of entry...
So, my only source to day is digital: Cary 303/300. I'd like to be able to play vinyl for the following reasons (not in any order):
1. I have lots of old albums that haven't been released on CD yet. And I'm sure there are more out there
2. I like the "hand on" idea
3. I believe in the benefits of this medium's unique sound.
My question is, what would be the price of admission - used - (incuding table, arm, cartridge AND phono pre) in order to match the fidelity of my CD Player.
Or, put another way, I don't vinyl playback that sounds junky compared to my digital playback.
thanx!

No affiliation w/ the seller, but this looks like a good deal, and with a clean record in good shape, your Cary might start collecting dust. http://cls.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?anlgtabl&1144303356 |
