Buying vinyl is way over my budget...
I dont listen to 500 albums merely ...
I like to explore...
Some albums i listened 1000 times, ( how is a vinyl state after few hundred listenings ? ) some others i like to listen to them few times...
But i like to own them , and i cannot afford a 20,000 bucks system with 10,000 albums... I must choose ... I had chosen a 1000 buks system speakers+headphones, TOP one for his price ...And i am happy and it is not a stopgap...
Now how do you keep 10,000 cd or vinyls ?
Answer : a room for them , it takes one wall of a small thirteen feet room for 2,500 cd or vinyl on each walls ...
Now i like books ...And i had more all my life than cds ...
Another room ....or two....
Where did i put my system ? In a dedicated acoustic room with no books nor my 10,000 albums for sure ...
Three rooms and i had no room here for my 2 children yet ...
I prefer lossless files...
My children are gone but even with a smaller house, i do not have anymore my past dedicated room ...
I ggo down to 500 paper books ... But all my cd were transfered on files all along the last 20 years...
Happily ...
Because i dont have the space now in a small house for two ...
And now imagine the cost of a competite vinyl system ?
In low cost system digital beat easily vinyl...
In high end if i listen mike lavigne and i listen to him because i trust him , vinyl is better ...
i will stay with a low cost completely satisfying system ...😁😊 With no frustration because trust me it sound minimally very satisfying ...
But there is no truth here, we have all our needs ...
