I could compare        AA>> some of those and your tunes with my modest system.               WD> I haven't bought a CD in ... pfftttt ... 15 years. I only        WD> got vinyl.              I have a modest collection. Only about 800-1100 LPs. Maybe        about 400-500 45's. I haven't put them to much use since the        quality of sound is noticeably not as good as I remembered some        of them to be. The speakers are fine, and professionally        rebuilt. Maybe my ear is conditioned to the more consistent        sound from a CD. However, I learned that a new needle/        cartridge pair is probably long overdue. It is recommended that        the needle be replaced every few hundred hours of play.              What make/model of record player do you have?              I've gone through several, but ultimately received a fine        Pioneer PL-A35. I love the steampunk look of the balancing/        pressure mechanism with the wire and weight.              --        ../|ug              --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: (2:221/1.58)       SEEN-BY: 106/633 124/5014 5016 153/757 203/0 229/426 280/464 301/1 341/234       SEEN-BY: 387/21 25 26 28 396/45 460/16 58 256 1124 5858 712/848 5054/30       SEEN-BY: 5058/104       PATH: 221/1 640/1384 460/58 280/464 396/45           |
