The price of vinyl satisfaction?

Hey You,

 

Yes, I read that (quote above) but I know where you come from. Please do yourself a favor and when you audition a TT in your home, don't make the mistake in thinking "oh, those highs - those dynamics, I will find them in there in due time".

You won't.

 

IOW, I know my NOS1a/G3 and I know yours too. So be careful, especially when really a lot of money will be involved (and I think it will anyway, starting with that cartridge that next will put "some" constraints on the TT).

 

Btw, I could do the exercise too, but for the exercise indeed - ready to give up at some stage. But it would intrigue me as part of the hobby - "can I get there ?". I suppose this is your motivation just the same ? I guess you'd have my support (FWIW but let's start with a long term relation ).

 

Peter

Already the cleaning of the LP's makes me want to go back to them. Such a ritual and always being sure all would sound better again.

Maybe I cleaned them with snake oil ?

This seems like a non-audiophile library. Is it true that audiophiles only listen to jazz, classical with maybe a sprinkling of classic rock?

 

Dude, I can't tell if you're joking or not. If you are, that was pretty funny and if you're not well...

 

He's a joke all right.

A delusional one. For you it's the truth.
