Buying old vinyl is a bit like gambling on the horses. You remember the good recordings at bargain prices (wins) and forget the unplayable junk (losses). In reality LP's cost more than CD's when you take the real costs into account. The situation becomes worse when you start buying new release on vinyl. I would still go for a turntable though. CD/SACD/DVDA do not cover all the bases. When you take into account that there are only a limited number of great recordings of the sort of music you like to listen to, you need to broaden the search as much as possible.
Vinyl or wait for the new stuff??
I was wondering whether to dive into the world of Vinyl or wait for the new format to settle. You see, I have not listened to vinyl for more than 20 years now. I have all rated A equipment and cables and good collection of Audiophile and not so Audiophile CD. Recently I have been thinking of taking a dive into the world of Vinyl. However, knowing myself, I will not be satisfied unless I get some highend stuff which will cost me some serious amount of money. Not to mention that I have to start my collection of software. So my question here for you guys who want to help. Shall I make the move or just wait for the SACD/DVDA ? your input would be much appreciated.
