| Don't lie....Do you hoard vinyl? I do not. I have only 46 ft. of LPs which includes mine, my deceased friend, my father and my wife's father. I do not. They are 1928 to the present re-issues and new ones like Tom Waits. I do not. Most of my duplicates were taken by my daughter. M... | |
| Denon DP-11F 1982 decent turntable? All would be a leap up. Denon made Japanese tekkie tables. They were flashy direct drive. I remember the owner of Esoteric Audio in Brooklyn doing a blind test with me of the top-of-the-line Denon and the entry level B&O. I picked the B&O ... | |

| Limits? Since I am an irrational collector with inconsistent habits, the idea of limits is even more crazy. Sometimes I have a theme, like all the great performances of one composition. Or I might be working in a place for a while that has good stuff in g... | |
| Tuner recommendations I bought an old McIntosh for a song, so to speak, and got new tubes. I added an attic FM antenna, and I play it all day as I work. LPs are for afters. If you are lucky enough to have stations that do not compress the signal, it is a nice addition. | |
