For most of us, vinyl is not a laughing matter.
Please don't take this a condemnation of it, either. Nothing is farther from the truth (ask my daughter, who has a turntable at college and haunts the record stores in town.)
I have to laugh at myself, though - after all, I'm a tight-fisted, cheap so-and-so, but somehow I managed to impart $2200 into building a turntable,
and that's not counting a cartridge (which I need to buy, come to think of it: I can't recall the cartridge I had, but the suspension collapsed so I need to replace it and give Stuart his cartridge back.)
Just horsing around...
Digital today is amazing. I am looking forward to hearing Jim Gerfin's newest setup, should astound.
BUT, whenever I listen seriously, it's vinyl.
It reminds me of a line from
2001: A Space Odyssey"My God! It's full of stars"
