I've been thinking lately about return to vinyl, at least in a limited way.
Then I got to thinking about everything I would need to do that:
turntable
cartridge(s) and replacement styli
cartridge alignment jigs
platter mat
phono preamp
stable platform on which to sit the TT
additional cables
record cleaning gear - brushes, static removers, fluids, cleaning machines,and suchlike paraphernalia
records @ $30 a pop (pardon the pun), assuming I can find any I'm interested in, or used records at who-knows-how-much and of unknown
quality
inner and outer sleeves for the record itself and its jacket
dealing with static electricity - I live in a dry climate
and finally, an ejecto-style recliner chair that facilitates the constant
getting up to change/flip over the record every 15 or 20 minutes
After considering all of this, I think I'm not going to buy a vinyl rig.
Way too fiddly for me. And, I don't like the clicks, pops, and tics that
go with vinyl. Perhaps I'll buy an SACD player instead.
