In Reply to: Tube and Vinyl types, If Tubes and Vinyl were to dry up, would Solid State and Digital then hold your interest? posted by Craiger56@aol.com on June 18, 2006 at 17:24:44:
I'd probably just listen to XM radio. Seriously though, I now listen exclusively to vinyl when doing serious listening, not to CD at all, and XM for background listening. And I've gone from a SS to a tubed phono stage. And my next change will be to more tubed equipment.If someone would have told me I'd be doing this a couple years ago, I'd have told them they were nuts!
