Are you in?


Yup, I've lost count of the TT's I've owned.

Yes, I have the same song on CD and twelve-inch 45rpm vinyl.  One day I played both, the vinyl was the clear winner, and the margin was NOT small.

The best audio I ever heard was vinyl played back thru tubes and modded Yamaha YH-1's.

That is literally the most head-fi hipster thing that I've ever seen posted (in hipster/word count density).

You cannot simply rip a SACD. You need the physical disc and a SACD player.


Encryption is not broken yet but can be bypassed now: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=86151 and  http://code.google.com/p/sacd-ripper/

Again, just making it another vehicle for computer data.

You can do a lot better for vinyl than an Audio-Technica table.

A lot of the pleasure comes from actually spinning discs, not playing needledrops.

Yep, vinyl is expensive if you want to do it right. Just like running tubes.

You can get in cheap, but the best will cost you.

Too bad solid state and digital don't have the same status. They can be wonderful on a budget.
