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 have just rediscovered my love of vinyl again, which I did not listen to since I was just a youngin'. I did this largely based on the advice of folks here but my own curiosity and interest in music generes that are available on vinyl led me there naturally. Like you all I needed was a nudge.

I started with just a handful of Lp's and now have a modest 300 lp collection. I invested in some good equipment. I researches and learned and asked questions (all thing I enjoy).

I can say without a doubt it has been the most fun I have ever had with music. Instead of viewing it as a hassle, I enjoy being responsible for the sound I am getting, playing around with VTA/VTF, cleaning recordds, different isolation etc. And I can say without reservation that the planet align nightly in my living room.

Yes, its cost me a lot, so be warned. But its been woth it for my ears.
