Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.

Eldartford-There is only one problem, digital continues to get incrementally better and vinyl is getting exponentially more expensive. Vinyl also appears to get more cumbersome in its infinitetesimal adjustments. This invites vinyl-files to have the temperment of an irate postal worker.(-:)

I think the usual argument is objective test of which is better. This is more subjective argument of is it worth it.

Pauly-I don't wear boxers. I wear brief hybrid. I want the best of both worlds. I hate standing in line. I frequently do see sports live. My point is vinyl has suprassed "a little extra effort."

Raul- I'm confused. If there is a greater vinyl fanatic than you I'd like to meet them.
Esoxhntr-Don't you own a SME 20/20 and a dynavector XV-1 that you purchased from Raul? Last I heard you were in pursuit of a Loricraft.

Pauly,Pauly, Pauly!

"Far from making any vinyl-phile think differently, all you are achieving is demonstrating ignorance."

I took no hard position, this is a discussion, not the advocation of a position. "

I have posted on other threads that I enjoyed the "purification ritual"

I also said that digital is like a clone of vinyl it has no soul.

I just think vinyl wears on me. The price and the constant adjustments. Some people love it.

"If you do not really care much for music, CDs are fine. Vinyl is for people that really like and enjoy music to a high degree. You obviously don't.

One thing I do is love music. If I just run across a musician playing music for donations at a subway entrance. If I hear a song on the radio and sit my car after I've stopped waitning for it to end. Listening to a walkman or ipod. I love music and don't care where it comes from.

Yes I do go to concerts. Not the opera. I am more into jazz. If invited to opera I would go. After thirty years of audio with declinig income, failing eyesight and clumsy fingers I wonder if it is worht it.
It appears it is to most of you guys.

one more thing I apologize for making Raul misspell worth.

"Newbee, that isn't the topic of the thread. Superiority of vinyl was accepted but rejected as a medium because of inconvenience."

I have not rejected vinyl. Just wondered if it is worth it. Obviously some think it is, some don't. This isn't little league where eveyone gets to play. Somebody has to be right, somebody wrong. You can buy a ticket to whatever show you like.

Gonna take delivery on new cd player. Don't need preamp. What's a good cleaning method for cd's?

Tvad- I will remain in the same neighborhood. I wil however buy a new house and furniture. My Moscode 401hr has also foud a new home)-:(

Don't worry TVAD. I have not found any amp I like better than the 401hr. But I will have a lot of fun finding a vinyl front end. Maybe I'll even get a Loricraft record cleaner. By the time the weather turns cold I'll be back in the saddle. "The good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise."

I started to to get some Shine-Ola. I could not distinguish it from some other subtance.

TVAD eihter you are lot younger than I thought or you hsve no sense of humor.

my new cd player. Accuphase DP57.

Let's see now if I go with the Stax headphones and tube amp I can have a killer system. No vinyl. No room treatment. No cables. Think of the money I can save. No complaints form the neighbors.

"...it is vinyl or sat radio..."
Why hasn't sat radio brought back the high end tuner. ?
