Hi Audiotomb:
You mentioned a concern in your thread that you were weary of having only a 'dated collection to play'. I just wanted to mention that in my recent move into the world of vinyl, I find that I can source about 70% of new music on vinyl over the web. Hence, I don't find there to be too much of a software/music availability issue with vinyl, which surprised me (check out eBay or MusicFringe to really see what you can source on vinyl - you may be surprised). Overall, I find I'm way happier having gotten a great vinyl rig(Teres 135/OL Silver/Shelter 501Mk2) that just upgrading my CD player. My CD player is a pretty respectable YBA CD1a. I toyed with the idea of upgrading to a Capitole or MephistoII, but I don't think the CD upgrade would have been that material. The turntable really is quite a gem to listen to though. Go analog! All I can say is that I've no regrets. Cheers,
Outlier
