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

I have plans to do that very thing. I just haven't gotten around to it. Having those tunes on hand like all the other music in the house will be real nice, not to mention the peace of mind knowing that it's *finally* been archived after 100 years!

i have about 1500 lps. i don't play them. it is somewhat inconvenient, i don't have a great phono stage or phono pre amp and i'm lazy.

Dev, to paraphrase your own advice to Timrhu on 8/6/11, no disrespect but if you re-read my posting on 8/7/11 you'll find that you left something out. Namely the 6TB server fronted by a MacBook Pro/Amarra setup.

8/7/11 is after my post you pulled up from 7/15/11 expressing disatisfaction with the Sooloos so please explain to me what is so funny?

And yes the Sooloos will be for sale as soon as I transfer all the data the RAID.

I'm glad you find yourself so amusing convoluting other people's posts. You should take your head out of your Stereotactic Device and get out a little more.

You have a great system. Why don't you post it on Virtual Systems as any pre-sexagenarian surely can do?

Khrys, if you are a computer geek, you may not need this advice, but here goes..

Abandon the RAID array, and buy a Drobo. I have just installed my second Drobo, and although a bit more pricey than a RAID array, it is so much simpler. Mine is a Drobo FS. Just load the software and plug the Drobo via LAN into the back of your router and instant backed up network storage. I put in (5) 2TB drives, that give me 8 TB of storage with back up. If any 2 of the drives fail at once, I can just swap them out for new ones with no loss of information. The Drobo tells you what's up with drives, and manages everything.

Much simpler than when I had RAID array, and much easier to maintain.

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!
