Want to get into Analog
Look at all of your new options and see if one of them will give you a rig on a trial basis that you can return.I had a similar problem with pre-amps, and I managed to borrow some before I decided on a tube CJ. 
How often do you have to service your Studer or Otari deck ? Home not pro environment.
I just gave away a 4 channel Otari deck because it wasn't half track, and it was too complicated, but the way it handled tape was fantastic.Today, I received RMG/EMTEC Studio Mastering Tape 900 Series for my Technics 1500, and I'm wondering how th...

A center speaker is for home theater,  not exclusively music.  Two good speakers will give you the proper center channel.

Mrpostfire, I'm over 70, I had vinyl until CD's came out, and I have no idea what the "vinyl experience" is about; without a high end analog rig it was "crap" and good riddance.However, it's entering a new dimension in music with a top flight rig....

Start out "new", there are too many bad things that can happen used.

That happens to me occasionally too; I post on the wrong thread. I like Frank and Mel, but they're not what you would call "soul vocalist", neither is Chet Baker, but maybe Bobby Scott falls in that category; I'll have to check him out. 
Jazz for aficionados
I owe it to this thread, and Andre Previn to post my thoughts on him and his musical abilities.He's clearly not given the credit he deserves as a jazz musician, but many jazz musicians are not given any credit at all, so maybe that's just the disp...

noromance, that just shows you're not dedicated enough. I don't know how many times I replaced some of those same recordings for that very same reason. Vinyl attracts pops and ticks like dogs attract fleas; they go with the territory.Happy liste...

Tonight, I discovered "ultimate analog"; that's what I call it, because it was too compelling to quit listening to, and I never found words to describe it.Never do I record CD's or LP's at 15 IPS because it's too expensive. Tonight, I found a box...

Frogman, I've been listening to nothing but brand new LP's for days; old music, but new LP's; it really takes big strong fingers to pluck fat bass fiddle strings, and Mingus has them. I'm listening to;          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0A...

There is no argument Frogman, you're listening to Class "A" analog while recommending no class analog for someone else.

I know what my problem is; "Nobody passed me the bong"; that's what it takes to get this romantic involvement with the "old-school" records and record players, that they now refer to as "Analog"; which said record players could be had for $200. ne...

What's with this "analog sound"; millions of people threw their "crappy" turntables on the junk heap and never looked back; a cheap crappy record player, and a record of any kind will give you crappy sound that every body gave up when they got a C...

Larry,it's quite apparent that you know next to nothing about "high end analog"; no audiophile would even consider the ridiculous stuff you are proposing; however, there is no question in regard to the superiority of analog over CD, even when one ...
