I am a quasi record "collector" not really an audiophile

I am exclusively rock.

i have(had) linn-itock-archiv lingo 1-tri amp isobariks activ

I gave up on vinyl.

it's too fragile and  difficult to handle. 

i'm sick of buying bum records on e bay(controlled source) :ignorant  hillbilly amateurs. dumpster diving at record shows is worse! too much competition for trash!

among 100 other rants :there are too many hi end high fi products

you should move to a file server with a mytek style streaming bridge and a pair of powered speakers before the bottom falls out of the vinyl bs

Thank you Schubert; when you leave "audiophilia", these are the worlds dumbest people.
FACT, the EURO is worth MORE than the US $ , Today only 14 % , usually higher ,Were the dollar not the world reserve it would be worth half of the Euro .

Buy used or better yet vintage refurbs if you're concerned about profit margins. And don't put everything in stocks if you can't take the risk.

There's a cost to distributing high-quality foreign imports, which the Clearaudio line unfortunately gets hit by here in USA. Building a good relationship with an authorized dealer can help a bit with that. They're beautiful tables that run like a dream.

Clearaudio tables are some of the most beautiful tables I have ever seen; they sure put my Rega to shame in that department, but there is a price that has to be paid for that beauty.

Rega puts every nickel into functionality; they give you your money's worth in audio. I'm not saying that Clearaudio doesn't give you what you pay for them, but what I am saying is that when you get beauty plus the highest quality audio, it's going to cost you more.

I don't look at my turntables, I only listen to them.
