Cal Blacksmith Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Yes, there are lots of us who still listen to "records" The last two I have had are a B&O 1900, I have owned it for about 27 years and I have replaced it with a Regga Planar 3 which I have had for about 6 months.

scott0527 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I own a lot of them. Duals, Thorens, Elac, Garrard. I mostly just look at those, might hook one up and fiddle with it now and then. I use a Linn Sondek LP12 and a Pro-Ject 6 for regular listening. It's certainly not a conveient hobby but vinyl can sound very, very good if your records are clean and you tt is set up correctly. Still, you kind of have to have a passion for it as it take some more work than loading a disc. I've found I'll listen more closely to Records since I know, in 15 to 25 minutes, I'm going to have to get up and flip or change it. With CD's being 40-50 minutes, I can sometime wind up concentrating on other tasks while listening. I started listening to vinyl again about 5 years ago.

Chris Robinson Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Properly set up with a great recording and an LP in great condition, it is almost as good as you can get the music. Multi-channel SACD sounds pretty darned spiffy for today's new recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Disc Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 In the mid to late '80s had a Nakamichi cassette player and a Yamaha turntable drving a pair of Birch Hereseys. Had that for about 4 years then migrated to CDs. Two or so years ago ventured back into Vinyl and it's been a real ear-opener. I enjoy SACD, CDs and Vinyl. Don't listen to DVD-A though. I now own a VPI ScoutMaster turntable that I just recently purchased. - No Disc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotbuck Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Greetings, I currently use an ELAC ("Benjamin" branded) 'table with a Miracord arm and Ortophon cartridge. I originally purchased it to have the capability of playing 78's. I found, however, that it sounded so much better than my SOTA Comet / Sure V15 set-up that I use the ELAC for all my records - and ended up selling the SOTA/Sure. Take care, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seti Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I am just getting back to vinyl on my own system most of my friends listen to vinyl and I got the bug again. I have an entry level tt MMF2 with a grado reference cartridge. Currently I am building a vibration control system for my rack and on the cheap as well. I am taking one think wood plank for the bottom and a thinner planl for the top with a small lip the same dimensions as my rack then I am going to place a dozen air bladders aka racquette balls between the slabs and hopefully this will be enough to minimize vibration and the cost will be under $100. I have wood floors in a house over 100 years old so the more vibration absorbtion I can add the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
76scalas Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Use a Thorens TD160 in my main system and a Yamaha YP-B4 in my second system.Use a bunch of different cartridges, this week my Sure M95ED is my favorite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC275 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 I've been using an MMF-5 for a year. Upgraded to Goldring 1042 cartridge. Very pleased with it. I find vinyl playback to be more responsive to amp/tube tweaks than my DVD/CD player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
