A few years ago I got tired of waiting for DVD-A/SACD players and discs to become available, so I bought the ultimate high resolution player: an expensive turntable.

I recently converted to vinyl, and it's the best thing I've ever listed to

I listen to CDs, DVDs, and SACDs, but prefer vinyl. Thank the spirits for Classic Records and Acoustic Sounds.

I love my vinyl collection and my Music Hall 'table.

I own a Michell GyroDec. I've had it for what must be 15 years now and there is no way I'm ever selling it! It is still the best sound I've heard in my system.

Sota Comet with a Denon DL160 cartridge. It's not like what you tend to review but, it still pulls a lot of music off of the vinyl. It still allows many hours of enjoyment. I run it thru a B&K Pro10MC preamp. It sounds very sweet. I still have more LP's than CD's. Analog just sounds more natural and warm. Maybe my ears are fooled but, it sounds more 3D.

Just purchased a Nottingham Interspace, and I couldn't be happier. With side by side comparisons available at nearly every high end audio store. I can't believe anyone who cares about sound doesn't own one.

Yes, I own a turntable. I also have an arm and cartridge for it--so that I can play LPs, of which I own about 500.

Always have, always will!

Uh, I'm beginning to think one cannot even claim to be a true "audiophile" without knowing the virtues of vinyl. Like most, I find the convenience of the CD to be so alluring that I listen most of the time to digital. But when I REALLY want to hear what music sounds like, well, back to vinyl.

Of course. I have music that either has either not been reissued on CD or has not reissued with adequate quality. You know what I'm talking about, the "nice price" CDs that are only suitable for the car.

BUT I still own one from 1980 all packed up..it is a Pioneer PL630

still the best

I will never be without one again. I will most likely upgrade my analog front end before ever stepping foot into the "high-rez" pond. There are still way too many good used records to be had for a couple dollars each to bother with either of the new digital formats with their limited selections and high prices.

Thorens TD 160, Grace 707,Supex 901

Even a cheap $150 turntable is more gratifying than a CD.

Don't have one and don't want one. Today's digital gear sounds great (I have a Sony SCD-1). With the convenience that digital offers, I can't be bothered with tweaking a turntable, cleaning the records, or having to run around looking for software on vinyl.

yes, but I only bought it to transfer some lps to cd. systemdek 11x it's for sale.

I don't have a turntable, but with about 30 LP's, I do plan to buy one...before too long, I hope.

Can`t remember how to use it though. Let me get this right, a rock on the end of a bit of scaffold "reads" a wiggley groove in a piece of vinyl? Hmmm, sounds like science fiction to me.

You'll have to prise my LP12 from my cold, dead hands.

I own both a Music Hall turntable and a Akai reel-to-reel tape deck, but I sold my SACD/DVD player. For me, analog offers the most sonic realism and is more beautiful.

Yes I have a Thorens TD147 with a Shure V15Vmr. But I only use it to digitize my records. After I will have finished it, I will put it in the box and listen to the CD-Rs. But I never will sell it, you never know!

Of course!

And it's so magic, but the problem is how and where to buy new LPs at a reasonable price and too few performers take the risk to record today on this media and it's only past music we can get

I've so many LPs I would be crazy to dump them all despite the fact that SACD and the best if CD is now better than vinyl.

An entry-level ClearAudio.

How do you say turntable in binary?

I did a full house move 14 times between 1982 and 1992. Sound quality or no sound quality, I couldn't buy into CD fast enough.

Still spinning the black circles!
