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

I would agree with Hdm almost totally. At this point in the game it would not be very cost effective for you to try to get back into vinyl, in fact it would be quite expensive.
(That is if you are talking about quality vinyl playback)
But who said that this hobby is about cost effectiveness? It is in fact about doing what makes you happy within the confines of your budget. If you can afford it go for it because I can tell you personally vinyl is quite a bit better than digital. That is why I'm so glad that I didn't fall for the digital hype! I still have my 2000 plus LP's and my Linn LP-12 TT and every time I switch back from digital playback to vinyl I just smile and know I made the right decision.
