My story:
I got into "audiophile" playback as CD only.
I had given all my records away over 15 years before I even heard of audiophile components.. A year or so ago I thought my tweaked out $2500 CDP was pretty good.. but although it impressed my friends, it still sounded a bit hard on my ears.. so I bought a tube amp and was fairly satisfied with my system.That's when a close friend went through a breakup/divorce and asked if he could store his old Technics TT and modest record collection with me. Of course curiousity took hold: I picked up a $99 phono preamp and fired up his TT through my existing system. The first track left my CDP in the dust.. the sound wasn't more detailed, dynamic, or whatever.. it was just more emotionally involving.
So $3000 or so later I have a good TT/cart/preamp and a cheapy cd player for background music in the kitchen.
Bonus: LP's are generally less expensive then CD's, and I find myself listening to a greater variety of genres.
