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 think you are making the right move. My best suggestion would be to browse thrift stores for 'starter' vinyl, and let your friends know they can bring over all those old records from the basement for your perusal.

Pick only the cleaner albums and go from there. Buy an occasional higher end album for comparison. You'll be amazed at what you can find cheap if you're patient. You'll also be amazed at the sound of true audiophile quality records. Mix it up and have some fun.

Cheers,
RW
