In the late 80's, early 90's I had a pretty high-end analog rig with a Goldmund Studio turntable with Goldmund T3F arm, Koetsu cartridge, AR SP10 preamp. In 92, I made a move across the country and had little kids, so decided to simplify my system. I hung on to my 2000 records for three house moves, but didn't have the storage space on the fourth move and my wife was getting tired of all the boxes. I ended up selling them for a small fraction of what they would get now (many MFSL and Sheffield discs, oh well).
I missed the sound of the records, but even then I had a reasonable sounding digital rig (Spectral SDR-1000). These days, I'm absolutely loving the availability of an unlimited selection of music on Qobuz and Tidal, and do not miss the ritual of cleaning my records every time before playing them. And I'm thrilled with the sound quality I'm getting from my system.
