converting to gitital


Hello
I am again thinking of converting to digital and selling tt and vinyl. I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has made that change and is happy or unhappy. Thanks for your input.

Prior to going digital I scored a new 3-head recorder and transferred 200 of my fave albums to metal cassette tape. 15 years later I still play the tapes alot. Even though my TT is all hooked up I seldom fuss with the LP's. Color me spoiled. LP's simply lack the uninterrupted play time. So consider re-storing some of your vinyl software in another format before losing the TT. I'm happy I did!
I actually did the reverse just a few months ago. I had a chance to listen to a friends analog based system and it blew me away how much better is sounded than CD. (He has a pretty good CD front end as well, but it was just not the same).
I then purchased a Basis 1400 TT, an ARC PH3, and I now listen almost exclusively to analog. I have not looked back.

If you must go to digital, do so in addition to analog, not instead of analog.

Good Luck with your tough decision.

PS If you dump your LP's, send them my way!!!!
Do try the digital before changing. I am totally into digital, but the fellow i bought my Audio Aero Cd player had such a vast collection of vinyl that he just decided not to duplicate everything.

i do think that with the right Cd player digital is more convenient and most of the newer stuff is so much easier to get on CD.
Sold my turntable and all my vinyl in 1992. In 1996 I bought a new turntable and started collecting vinyl again. There is something about Records (sound, look, feel) that CDs can't duplicate.
Think long and hard before getting rid of all.
I went with just CD's, cold turkey no less, about seven years ago. I gave everything away. On occasion, I will get tempted to puchase a turntable, but the truth is that I really was not listening to records that much anymore and I just did not want to be bothered with vinyl's demands. Yep ... turntables and album covers are seductive (not the record, itself) ... but I prefer the seduction of "drop in and play" even more. I especially like the portability afforded by CD's and potentially 70+ minutes of straight playing time ... there is no need to adjust VTA; hear pops/clicks/scratches; and all that .

Good Luck. Rich
