| would you bother? >>Digital is just information, not music. :)<<Wow. Okay. Thanks. Vinyl is just a subculture, which has more to do with social/pycholological needs than music. :-) But, seriously -- to each his own. | |
| would you bother? With my CD/SACD player, I savor Coltrane, Monk, Miles, Diz.....no needle scraping dust out of the grooves, no clicks and pops, no obsessive compulsive rituals in the constant fight against dust and scratches...just music. | |
| would you bother? >>You see, I haven't gotten around to investing a thousand bux into adequate vibration isolation.<<Another hassle [and hidden cost] with vinyl. | |
| Audiophile 2 channel Receiver? You *could* go with an integrated amplifier. | |
| After 5 years, format war? What format war? The answer is yes -- a top SACD player will take you much further. I started with a Yamaha s2300 Universal Player that I bough new for $1,000. Soundedpretty good on SACD, but then I moved up to a Sony SCD XA777ES which I bought used for $1,600 and... | |

| your wardrobe in 1972, any hip huggers? I was high school class of '74: Levis Bell Bottoms, wide leather belt, T-Shirts with unbuttoned flannel shirt over, and waffle stompers (hiking boots). Also went through a Frye Boot stage with same get-up, but that was early 70's, like '70, '71. A... | |
| would you bother? If I were you -- no way would I start into vinyl at this point. Clicks and pops and constantly fighting the war against dust in your grooves...I don't care ifyou gave me the LP, there's no way I want to be stuck playing LP's with all those clicks ... | |

| What was your first music that you paid for? I asked my mom to get me She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah by The Beatles, on 45RPM. She came back with You Can't Do That with Money Can't Buy Me Love on the flipside, explaining that She Loves You was sold out and the guy at the record store told h... | |
| After 5 years, format war? What format war? My SACD collection is at 100+ and I eagerly await new releases. I've put CD buying in a holding pattern because I'd much rather have an SACD than CDand new releases are just around the corner. To my ears, there's no way CD can compete with SACD. W... |
