>>Would an $8K turntable and 4,000 LPs do?<<
I just finished setting up my second TT at my Seattle condo. My good ones are at my Kentucky farm. I only have about a thousand LP’s though.
Ever been to this site: Audiokarma.org
same here. don’t have a 8K TT... mine is more like 1,000.. nice Grado cartridge...1,000 LPs, including many brand new pressings... wonderful state of the art, 6.1 Yamaha and IMF and Bose speakers....
add in my Blu-Ray..my Sony Bravia TV, my computer, my kindle.. God, my wife is jealous of the time I spend with the above “loved-ones”...
You are both an audiophile AND a musician? I think I have read in some thread that you are a player.
Funny, I thought we musician types were rarely audiophiles. I have always been waaaaay more interested in the quality of the musician’s performance than the sonic quality of its playback.
I found I can get good records at the thrift stores for 10 cents, 25 cents and $1.00.
I spent last night listening to several Sammy Kay recordings! I love old easy listening records! I've also got lots of movie soundtracks from the 1960s! Lots of James Bond music by John Barry who passed away . I wish I could find a new stackable turntable for an easy price.
