Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.

Yeah Chris, I've been buying up MoFi's recent reissues. Every one has been outstanding in both mastering and pressing. I think they're new releases are as good as it gets.

Dave

Is analog it worth it, YES YES YES YES & YES.
Yes I think it is!
You can read the liner notes without a magnifing glass while listening & enjoyihg the music. You can also see the art without squinting. Try that with a cd, I don't think so.

I think it is simple. The end goal in audio is to reproduce analog sound, an lp playback system is completely analog front to back, whereas digital systems take an analog source, converted to digital, and then reconvert it to analog. There's a whole lotta converting going on. I think one of vinyl's merits is the simplicity and purity of the interface itself... a needle on a record.

They say that some things, like making sausage, you don't want to watch. Digiphobics, like Hxt1, probably should not watch LPs being recorded or mixed :-)

I just spent the last three weeks tweaking my turntable-re-leveling, re-calibrating speed; bought new, upgraded tone arm cables (broke them in), got a stylus gauge to lock in the VTF, spent a few days with walley tools adjusting & optomizing VTA; bought new walker audio record brushes, got new (AI) fluid, stylus cleaner, put new isolation devices under the motor, basically an entire over haul.

All I can say is GEEEEEZ..... The time cleaning and destatisizing is like rubbing the genies bottle...
It is soo worth it.
