| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD Ain't no way a starter level record player, can even beat cheap digital; or why else would millions of people chuck their mid fi turntables, and sell or give away records? | |

| Old vs. new When CD's first came out, vinyl was better, but now, both of them are all over the place. A friend just bought CD's that were better than my original Blue Note LP's.Old CD's are not as good as old LP's, but the game keeps changing.In general, old... | |

| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? I can easily understand why someone would insist in tube only. Unless your budget is unlimited, you can not just sample phonos endlessly, you must have some idea of what you want.SS makes sounds, Tubes make music; to some people, sounds sound bet... | |
| What separate tube phono stage do you use ? Inna, why are you so interested in all of those very expensive phonos for a MM cartridge??The purpose of MM is to get very high quality audio at a cheaper price.I use a "Budgie" with NOS Telefunken tubes that put it over the top, and I couldn't ... | |

| Tonearms: Ripoff? The market is what it is; if you want a trip to musical paradise, you got to pay the price.A studious audiophile has paid part of the price with the knowledge he's obtained over the years that enables him to get the most for his money, but at the ... | |
| Tonearms: Ripoff? "Or is it that most owners of record players online are dumpster-diving for vintage gear and simply can’t afford to listen to better?"Madavid, you hit the nail on the head; the identical same goes for the cartridges; since they can’t pay for the ... |
