Vinyl playback is still a secret
I have tons of vinyl but will never play it or sell it. I will not invest the time or effort it takes to play vinyl well. SACD is just too good to even consider it.Chuck 
SCD-1 & SCD-777ES Sonically What's the Difference?

What to update first: pre or power amp?

CJ Premier 17LS2 vs Premier 16LS2?
I upgraded from an original 17ls to a 16lsII and the difference was amazing substantially more detail and bass control. In my opinion worth the substantial higher cost to upgrade. Although I have not heard the 17lsII the circuitry is very similar ... 
would you bother?
I guess I should qualify my answer. Personally I would not because of all the maintenance issues associated with vinyl. On top of the cost of good quality vinyl(180g-250g) about $40.00 a pop. SACD is just to good for me to even consider getting in... 
would you bother?
