What is your vinyl commitment?

I don't think you can ignore the cost of cleaning LPs. It doesn't necessarily involve spending big money (though you could) but does require time and effort. It's a factor, along with the cost of the "software" (which used to be called "records"). 

+1 ^ and the time/effort seeking out vinyl

@whart   Is spending time cleaning records a chore? Maybe. Although personally i get some amount of pleasure from the simple task of running the record through my cleaning protocol, US and vacuum, and then seeing the result. ( and hearing it too). Spent several hours doing exactly this yesterday, was quite pleased with the results.

What is your vinyl commitment?

Makes me think “What’s your digital commitment?”  Seems normally it’s server+Streamer+DAC, but can dive deeper with LPS, clocks, Ethernet filters, Ethernet switches, upscalers, transports, etc.  Sorry if off topic

I am committed to the following, 1) VPI super Prime 2) Hana blue 3) Jc3+ and Carda's cabling = $9.0k.

After all this, i realize, i am just lazy flipping records, so I think this is where my end game will be.
