Why Do You Still Have Vinyl if You Don't Play it?

You should have mentioned that's your take because I would have to totally disagree when you suggest vinyl sucks compared to digital, you really had me laughing!

A top notch digital set-up can be very nice which I've had but once vinyl is played well it's game over, it's as simple as that.

Different strokes for different folks.

Enjoy!

Timrhu, no disrespect but if you re-read my posting I did say it was "my opinion" and you have also left some of my posting out.

My personal exspearience is digital can't but obviously by reading your statements you just haven't heard a proper set-up like allot of others whom I see posting.

If you don't get to hear such how can you make such comparisons and then make such statemens as you do, shows a lack of exspearience and credibility.

If you like what ever source it maybe good for you, opinions are just that so enjoy!

My current set-up;

- MBL 101e speakers
- Vac Statement 450 mono blocks
- Vac Sig. MK2a pre-amp
- MBL 1621a transport
- Acustic Arts Ref Tube dac
- TW Acustic Black Knight table placed upon a Minus K platform
- Reed 12" arm with MSL Ultra BC cart
- TW 10.5' arm with A90 cart
- Stealth Audio cable through out.

I have to chuckle when the come back is;

"I have never owned a hi-end analog set-up"

and

"I gave up listening for that purpose as my hearing is deteriorating and I no longer feel qualified to judge at that level."

Sorry to read for your loss but honestly with no disrespect I would not clasify your red book or system as a whole as hi-end either but do enjoy.

You seem to want to start a debate with me, don't see you responding to the remark suggesting vinyl sucks made which raises a flag to me, it's appears to me you have a hidden agenda.

That statement is so far from being the thruth and ONLY demonstrates lack of credibility from that poster.

I guess I really need to spell it out for you, I never said the specific words "my opinion".

Try reading again, I'll help you, look for key words like;

"I would have to totally disagree"

and

"I've had"

those are "my opinion" got it.

Really makes me wonder how one can judge such if they haven't had in their own set-up and lived with it but seem compelled to push those keys for others to read misleading them.

As I said prior; A top notch digital set-up can be very nice which I've had but once vinyl is played well it's game over, it's as simple as that.

Enjoy!

I would say @$50K that's a pretty high-end red-book set-up.

Khrys, and your point is?

Was that before or after you wrote;

Anyone want to buy a Sooloos? I'll have one for sale shortly.

Their typically unhelpful support is less amusing since it is now useless.

Sounds like you must be in your 60's and frustrated, what's next ....

I gotta laugh when I read such postings

Ha! Ha! no just threw out that number.

So Unoear are you getting rid of your tables and replacing them with a Sooloos? I read Khrys has one possibly for sale.

Khrys,

you directed your posting to me and in reading such my understanding was you preferred your Sooloos to your vinyl front end mentioned which is funny and only tells me ...

adding to your post you added the sacasm directed to me saying;

Too bad for you "it's game over".

Mine's still going on.

I find individuals of such going this route for convenience which is okay, it's your system and your choice and opinion so enjoy, no need to debate.

I also realize you have a 6TB server fronted by a MacBook Pro/Amarra that you prefer over the Sooloos, so what.

That all being said you were the one who initiated originally and not me so I responded to such and now you seem to want to step that up by adding;

"You should take your head out of your Stereotactic Device and get out a little more."

also saying;

Why don't you post it on Virtual Systems as any pre-sexagenarian surely can do?

Firstly WOW! using the word "sexagenarian" must be describing yourself, a person who is 60 years old or between the ages of 60 and 70.

Sorry but I'm in my 40's and don't need to use a piano to calibrate my ears, that was so funny what you posted had me rolling around on the floor.

My 1992 Steinway M recalibrates my ears daily.

My system, thanks yes I agree as you mentioned above my system involves ... highly precise and complex instruments.
I don't need to get out more, maybe you need to take your own advise. Also I see no need to post but looking at your picks in general they look very nice.

Enjoy!
