I have been toying with the idea of selling my 2500 LP collection to help fund a comedy feature film I’m doing.
I don’t play LPs as much as the digital front end, (PS Audio DS) but when I do I feel I’d regret selling the collection. There is just an fantastic intimacy there with the right LP.
i got into CD as an early adopter, then in the late 80’s got my first high end system (quad 63’s) and even with a cheap technics table I realized how amazing vinyl sounded and bought a used Well Tempered table.
I was was living in NY’s east village at the time and everyone was selling their vinyl for CD. I bought 2500 LPs at that time, many of them promo pressings, Japanese or Europe or quite a few MFSL that were being brought in by people in the music business selling their collections.
I now have them nicely displayed, alphabetically arranged in a wall unit.
The table is a 150 lb. TTweights momentus with graham Phantom II arm and soundsmith StrainGuage SG400 cart/phono stage all floating on a Halcyonics type active vibration isolation.
Hopefully I won’t have to sell it all, but celebrity actors don’t work for vinyl.
