After the better part of 5 years of wanting vinyl, I have plunged.

LP-12/Ittok arm/valhalla ps/k18 cart

And a boatload of premium vinyl from various lables.

I knew Vinyl had to be part of my system after the Bristol UK show illustrated how superb vinyl sounds. None of the digital front ends gave me the midrange detail, fluidity, timbre or tonality the vinyl did.

There is a damn good reason vinyl is as popular as it is. It makes great music.

I did meet one chap that stated "Give me a decent $700 vinly rig over *ANY* cd player"

I am beginning to agree with him!
