HiFi laundry


Over the past year or so, I have become a born again vinyl enthusiast. As a consequence, I am loving music more than ever. I hardly ever listen to Qobuz or local music files any more.

During my vinyl free years, I acquired lots of accessories in an attempt to make the digital sound more palatable. They things like an audiophile switch, a Roon ROCK NUC, IsoAcoustic feet, Snergistic Research Tranquility Pods, linear power supplies, etc.

Now I am thinking that maybe I should just sell the whole lot and get back to basics. They seemed to make sense at the time, but probably aren’t contributing that much now. I could cancel my Qobuz and Roon subscriptions while I’m on.

I’d raise enough cash to replace my cartridge when the time comes or go some way towards upgrading my power amps.

I made one big mistake in getting rid of vinyl a few years ago and feel reluctant to do the same with digital. Although it wouldn't be going completely, just the bells and whistles.

Has anybody else had a clear out like this? If so, is it something you’ve regretted?

Cheers, John

I'm a huge vinyl fan too. But I'd never get rid of my seedees, digital files or Qobuz subscription. There's just too much good  music out there that's not available on vinyl. And digital sound quality has come a long way in the past 20 years. It's no longer the compromise it once was. At least not in my opinion.

I think you'll regret it. Maybe not right away, but down the road.
