| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Those audiophiles who say they opt for vinyl over cd’s are not making classical music the core of their record collection. Choosing a Faces record from 1971 rather than a cd is an incomparable comparison to collecting the classical music repertoir... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Most of what I listen to are recent classical recordings or remastered classical recordings. I would say that 95 percent of classical releases today are in digital format. I doubt that vinyl will gain traction in that genre. If I do listen to popu... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? It appears that I’m getting hammered on about not collecting more records than the two hundred that I own. In my defense, the vintage vinyl that I own, which typically dates from around 1957-ish are all in very good to pristine condition. I have s... | |

| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? A small private record shop in Paris had a Carmen McRay “Alfie” mono pressing on Mainstream records and they were asking 45 EUROS. I pain 8 dollars for my copy here in the states. I asked the owner why the price was so high and he mentioned that i... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Just to clarify a bit, I would to some degree regret selling my table and phono amp. Additionally, I'm not comparing mono analogue to stereo digital, rather I'm saying that the quality of my digital front end is so good, that I might not miss play... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? reubent, I came across the name goofyfoot by a joke that I had made to my friend that involved Desonex. Hard to explain exactly but my friend named his band Goofyfoot and they played at the old Sudsy Malones in Corryville. I grew up in Hartwell an... | |

| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Someday in the future, I may have the possibility of picking up a nice reel to reel in order to play those $600.00 Analogue Production tape releases. By the way, who is manufacturing reel to reel tapes anymore? | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Septoplasty. I actually appreciate the resolution in mono, which is why I opted to keep it simple and keep stereo out of the mix. The other thing is that the Thorens tonearm is the weakest link and installing only a mono cartridge means that I don... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Yes, lewm, the limitations of my cartridge, lp's and tonearm leaves analogue at a great disadvantage. It makes since however to prefer my digital set up to my analogue set up given the inequity between the two.The surgery isn't life threatening bu... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? To All,I need to clarify that the only cartridge being used with this table is the AT mono. I do not own one stereo record nor any type of stereo cartridge. So that is special in some ways but also limiting. A possible alternative is to finish the... | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Thanks to all so far. I might wait to see how much I’ll have to pay out of pocket for surgery before I post for sale. | |
| Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig? Thanks Russ,My digital rig is so much better sounding than my vinyl. Better soundstage, outstanding separation and position of instruments, tight and musical bass, rolled off high ends, rich midrange, superior detail and all while sounding analogu... |
