Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.

I just spent the last three weeks tweaking my turntable-re-leveling, re-calibrating speed; bought new, upgraded tone arm cables (broke them in), got a stylus gauge to lock in the VTF, spent a few days with walley tools adjusting & optomizing VTA; bought new walker audio record brushes, got new (AI) fluid, stylus cleaner, put new isolation devices under the motor, basically an entire over haul.

All I can say is GEEEEEZ..... The time cleaning and destatisizing is like rubbing the genies bottle...
It is soo worth it.

Eldartford..... I am not digiphobic, I actually own a cd player AND a dvd player, and yes I am aware of digital mixing AND mastering. At the end of the day, I listen to vinyl more than I listen to cd's because I like it. I like listening to cd's to, I'm not afraid of them. My previous post was a simple observation, take it how you wish, if you read deeply enough into it to see 'digiphobia' then so be it.

And yes Viridian, I agree with you as well, However let's not leave the master tapes out of the equation! :-)
Only thing my TT is missing is an analog to digital converter, so I can run it thru my DAC, and 'smooth out the sound' a bit!

Hxt1, no need to apologize for vinyl. i no longer listen to cd's, it is vinyl or sat radio. soon there will be better servers and better means of receiving, but to me cd's are a dead issue. i never liked ipods or mp3's either. high bit rate streaming video and music next future, but untill then it remains vinyl! the set up, treatment and handling of vinyl is part of the ride. oh and Eldartford is just jealous. so enjoy.
