Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it


I'm standing here on the vinyl cliff,peering over the edge...I had a TT in the eighties & nineties, an AR with the Underground Sound mods by George Merrill from Memphis, TN. It got destroyed in a series of moves, and my vinyl disappeared. I have a perfectly good CD player(Denon 1650AR),EAD PM2000 amp & EAD Ovation plus prepro, & thiel 2.3's. I would need a phono preamp before I could run whatever TT I obsess over enough to buy, as the Ovation has no phono stage. Push me over, or save me! mb

All those telling you not to go vinyl are correct.
But if you do,one evening,if all the planets are aligned just right and I mean JUST RIGHT you will experience something you never imagined you could feel.
I guess that makes all the problems of vinyl playback worth it.
Good Luck!!
I'd wait-n-see how the new digital formats shake out
(Dolby True HD and/or DTS HD).
They are supposed to be something special.
As Delmer said in the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?"... I agree with you fellars!!!! (You too Elizabeth!)

Enjoy,

I tried it 3 times before deciding it just wasn't for me. But you have to try it to truly find out.

Hi, I am deep into vinyl land and it can sometimes be fun and frustrating. Here is something you might want to consider:

Vinyl is a commitment that needs your time, effort and patience. Since you have no LP's to start, you can still think it over before hastilly plunging into the void. The worse thing is that after spending your time, effort and money...(turntable, arm, cartridge, acessories, phono stage, cables, etc......oh forgot the software and cleaning machine) and finally deciding it's not 'yer cuppa tea! Then, all will be lost.

Think it over. Maybe the $ you'll spend on the analog rig can be better spent on upgrades to your current system, your room acoustics and bring you more joy when listening.

Anyways, best of luck whichever way you go.

Cheers,
