What is your vinyl commitment?

I'm all in on vinyl and have been since my 1st system in 1981. Current setup is made up of a mix of new and preowned components. Luxman 441 deck with Micro Seiki 505mkII w/S pipe & have several headshells. Carts by Nagoka, Audio Technica, Shure & Micro Acoustics. Simaudio Moon LP5.3 w/PSX 5.3 power supply. Shunyata Python for the Simaudio PSX. $7500+/- for it all. Pure Joy!

Used VPI Prime, $3k.  Upgraded feet, $350. Hana Umami Red $3k with trade in. Odyssey phono pre, $1k (I think, been 3 years)  Vinyl only system.  Cartridge still breaking in, but sounds pretty damn good. Possible upgrades next year: Pass Labs  phono pre, electronic speed control for TT, better interconnect, probably cryo’d.  

That should do it for the front end. 

Let's see. $900 for my VPI HW-19 in '96. $4000 for my Origin Live Conquerer in '16, $1200 for my Shelter 5000, in 2024, half off bid on eBay, $1000 for my Gold Note PH-10 in 2025. That's $7000 in 2025. Not bad really. Best sounding system for me.
