Vinyl - One Word - WOW!!

Vinyl lovers, audioman, mijostyn and the other vinyl bashers couldn't be further from the truth! Need to spend thousands for cables? Even more for a good digital set-up? 10K for a good analog set-up? 35K? Rubbish! I've been doing this since Christ was a corporal (i.e.  early 1970s)! Pound for pound, dollar for dollar, comparing apples to apples, vinyl has a definite edge over digital and, notwithstanding personal audiological factors, you need not spend exorbitantly to hear this advantage. This is, of course, in the humble opinion of my ears. For those ears that disagree, that's perfectly fine! Of course! Enjoy your digital systems! By all means, listen to the music via the medium(s) you prefer! It is true, however, that vinyl requires more care and dedication to achieve wonderful fidelity (i.e.  clean records; good pressings; etc.). Digital is easier, more convenient.

Couldn't agree more with the fact that master tape to vinyl recordings are the next best thing to being there live! I've got hundreds of good vintage pressings from the 60s & 70s in my collection and a few from the 50s & early 80s. The newer pressings engineered from the original master tapes aren't too shabby either! For those of you vinyl lovers who may find yourselves in the area, for whatever reason(s), I would encourage you to drop into a vintage (and new vinyl) store I happened upon over the holidays called:  "Purchase Street Records". It used to  be located in New Bedford, MA but has since relocated to Pope's Island in Fairhaven, MA. Great Store!  Great people! They've got a website. Check 'em out!
