RE: dilemma: Keeping or selling off vinyl & turntable

Somewhere around 2002, I sat down with a friend and did what we considered a serious A/B between an LP and CD of the same recording. CDP was a decent Sony for the time, vinyl rig was an LP12/Itok/Karma. We heard the differences but found we didn't really prefer one to the other. As a result, as a practical move, I sold all of my vinyl for a pittance, LP 12 too.

Then in 2004, I paid a visit to Peter Qvortrup of Audio Note as part of my retirement present to myself -- a trip to England for the Aldeburgh Music Festival on the Suffolk coast. At Peter's, I listened to his vinyl rig (AN TT of considerable quality, M10, Kageki's, fancy E's of some sort) and had my brain re-inverted. I came home and, in effect, bought back most of my LP's on EBay and got an AN TT to play them on. Moral: Don't be too impulsive about these things or you'll end up on EBay.
