" Myself? I just hate having to get up every twenty minutes to flip the record or put on a new one (PLUS cleaning, tick&pops, storage, etc.). Good luck. "
And dont forget about all the new 45’s that only run for 10 minutes!
Seriously though, Digital is not organic sounding, vinyl has a more grounded or earthy quality. This can be heard on a $50 plastic portable player or a high end 2 channel system. The fact that records do indeed end quickly I feel keeps me alive heck the whole process of having to get up and find a record and unjacket it then lay it on the turntable is part of the event! Hours of digital streaming or long 70 minute CD’s are uninspiring to me, its great for music when your not really listening imo.
ASW, any of the brands would work, if you can listen first then it helps to narrow things down. REGA would be a great start too :-)
