What is your vinyl commitment?


Total cost of ONLY THESE ITEMS: turntable (including power supply), Cartridge, Phono Stage (phono pre-amp).

 

Personally, I'm at $3,195 for Rega P6 with Ania Pro Cartridge and a pre-owned Zesto Andros tube phono stage (pre-owned for $1,900) - Magic!

 

How invested are you?

Somewhere north of $30K with custom build Technics SP10 MKII, highly modified Thorens tt's, Thoress and Modwright phono stages, Audio Technica AT-Art9xa, modified Rega arm on Thorens, Jelco TK-850L arm on Technics.

 

So many other items really required for vinyl which should also be included in determining one's money commitment, things like record cleaning machine, fluids, specialty component stands, cartridge alignment tools, cabling. And then we have the vinyl, I have over 3K albums. 

 

And the shame of it all, rarely use my vinyl setup, streaming has replaced the vinyl. I've been spoiled by new listening modes which don't require listening through an entire album, but I still can if that's my desire.
