You Still Need, What??



I had told my wife I was going to buy a turntable and have been buying vinyl for the last 6 months. Well, about a week ago I bought the table, a VPI Super scoutmaster.

I got the tt home and my wife said ,"It will be nice that you can finally play your albums" I looked at here and said I still need a phono stage and cartridge. She couldn't beleive it. Not to mention the record cleaning machine, stylus pressure guage , etc.

When she was asking the price of the cartridge(diamond needle)she felt that would be better spent for a new shiny sparkly for her finger.

Anyone else with a similar experience with the significant other not relizing all that is required for a vinyl system.

If was to choose a wife who is fascinated by shiny objects, I would find one who is still distracted when I jiggle my keys.
That's the problem with vinyl, a cdp can be plug and play, with vinyl there's always something next. Table, arm, cartridge, phono stage, cables, weights, isolation, will it ever end?
If only digits sounded as good...
