For a long time, i thought that vinyl was just old technology that wasn't any good. Only after reaching 1000 posts here that i chanced upon a used turntable for cheap. I bought a Sony LX250H for $20. In addition, the guy gave me 40 lps cos he said he was giving it up and is only using his ipod now. Good deal?
Anyway, i wasn't too optimistic or anything, i was just curious. So the next morning, i hooked it up to my system.
Sony LX250H -> NAD c320bee -> Dali suite 2.8
Some of the records he gave me included Dave Brubeck, Duke Ellington, Beatles, The Who and Rolling stones. Not too bad huh? Anyway, proceeded to playing them.
Even for a cheap player, i seem to hear a difference between the warmness of the sound. Like when i listen to the Beatles, the same songs sound bad on cd but enjoyable on vinyl. Is this normal?
Oh no! Now i'm starting to get really curious how a good turntable will sound. I really wanna make a comparison with something like Beck on LP and SACD and see which sounds better. Anyway, i'm pleasantly surprised with vinyl. Classic rock and classic jazz sound better on vinyl than cd. I wish i could experiment with Diana Krall too.
Where's my wallet? Can't seem to find it........
