The basic point from Richard's post is correct, any 2ch system (irrespective) of media is inferior to the equivalent MCH system. I suggest the money here will be more wisely spent looking for an effective means of archiving these LPs to DVD(or CD). 2ch is in the past, the listening room of library will be better served by a "rugged" MCH system, by all means have some vinyl playback if you want (for reference) but not as the primary means of playback. This is 2007! That's silly.

  Yeah, maybe a better passtime for the students, and a better use of the funds (which are probably just...endless) would be for them to all get together and burn those LPs to CD or some other type of digital playback for enjoyment in a MCH system!
  
  That would be SO much more 2007 than LISTENING to and ENJOYING music on vinyl on a fine 2 channel system! Especially when 2008 is right around the bend.

    It will be interesting to see how long the turntable system, it's ancillaries (short of DJ jobbie) and the LPs survive in a public library. Interested in getting a wider audience to listen to great music, archive the LPs the disk, better accessibility, much superior ruggedness etc.
