I rarely play CD's anymore, almost exclusively listen to vinyl, way more fun, toe tapping and engagingGlad to hear you have embraced vinyl again. Like you, this is my go to medium for 95% of my music listening. Not necessarily because it sounds better but because it sounds different. And I make a much more emotional connection to the music that's gets the toe's tapping that digital seldom would.
Thanks for the excellent suggestions. Originally I was considering a VPI Scout or MMF9.1, but reading others accounts of their re-entry into vinyl, it seems many are disaapointed so I thought I'd go slow and start cheap and see where it leadsSo I guess all those people you sited 8 years ago were wrong. Sounds to me like your ready for a VPI now.
