We really need a device that adds clicks and pops to digital media so it sounds more like vinyl. I have lots of new vinyl (and old stuff) that sounds astonishingly good...lucky me, so of course you don't need used records particularly. Note I'm not a vinyl fanatic as I like plenty of digital also, but hey...you can only play vinyl on a turntable and since it can sound great, why not have a decent one? My Akito arm has bearings and still works somehow...detail for days.
Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS.
Should I pursue analog? Invest maybe 3 or 4 grand in a table and start buying records? Some stuff sounds really good on Vinyl but it's an expensive endeavor and NEW records aren't cheap. Plus thos pops and noise and a lot of setup required. Love the vintage aspect of it. Some records sound truly amazing on a really good table and cartridge. Take the plunge? Or buy a better DAC and dont look back!!! Lol.
