I'm selling a nice old Rotel amp with an awesome phono stage if you're ever interested.
You could get a better turntable secondhand, but you could end up with something much worse too. If you just want something to not worry about while you build up your vinyl collection it might be worth looking at.
£125-£150 all in. Sounds fab!!
And monstrous amounts of fun. I love messing with my turntable and searching out second hand vinyl bargains
See you in about a month with a thread entitled "Totally broke, but I need to buy massive storage for vinyl..help!!"
Even the recent remix of Sgt Pepper - from the original 50 years old 4-track analogue tape - was probably mixed into stereo via a DAW. It's entirely possible they copied the analogue 4-track into a DAW as the very first step, for convenience and to preserve the original tape a little longer. It sounds marvellous, BTW!
I'm happy if people prefer the sound of an analogue vinyl LP to the CD alternative, as long as they don't try and tell me it's more faithful to the stereo mix that the artist decided was the one they wanted when they were mixing it in the studio. That will be the preserve of the CD. The vinyl cut is often a compromise, due to the limitations of the cutting machine.
CD quality is fantastic if you listen to it on decent hifi and it outperforms vinyl for noise floor and dynamic range. However some people will prefer the sound of the same recording when listened to on vinyl because we're all different. Some people like the 12in format as "a thing" and so do I, but not to listen to vs CDs.
Me, I'm glad I don't get rumble, crackle, wow & flutter or any of the other side effects of vinyl disk or magnetic tape.
Apologies to the OP - I'm on a tangent, I know. Please enjoy your vinyl and ignore me. If you like it, then you like it!
