Looking for a new Amp or Preamp? If you're after tubes, post over here.

"... a clearly superior vinyl format ..."

Vinyl is clearly superior? To what? 78 rpm shellac records?

Vinyl is fine if you like:
a medium that degrades every time it is played
the rice krispies effects inherent therein
a carrier that easily warps and is subject to skipping.

Vinyl is fine if you like spending money on:
record cleaning machines, fluids, brushes, static killing devices,
alignment tools and devices, stylus force gauges, replacement belts,
record sleeves (inner and outer), and replacement styli.

But maybe the best thing about vinyl is that, if you don't like the
sound your rig produces, well, a new phono preamp or cartridge can
change the sound substantially!

And you can spend more for a new tonearm or cartridge than you can on
a BMW 3-series car!

Yes, vinyl is clearly superior. A clearly superior method of extracting
funds from believers.

But I do like that AR preamp, though.
