I still stand by my assertion that VERY few people have the means to retrieve the best out of vinyl.
Dave.
Maybe so, but...............
I have a fair number of clients that are involved in the music department of a mega church (this has nothing to do with religion)
Mostly younger people who've grown up in the digital age. I bring that point up because they have no 'romantic memories' or bias towards records.
This mega church has people from the world over coming to it. It has its own TV station, world class state of the art recording facilities, and is totally entrenched in embracing the best, most expensive digital audio and video technology. They do a lot of live broadcasts of music.
It is also the tip of the spear in the modern christian music scene.
Religion aside, these people are true proffesionals. All skilled in modern recording.
However, when I put on a record for them, jaws drop in amazement with the usual comments of "wow! That sounds amazing! "
I dont have any high end equipment for vinyl.
A 70s hitachi turntable with a shure cartridge. A receiver I purchased in 79, a Kenwood kr 9600 and a set of Yamaha Ns 344 speakers.
Yet the result is wow. To people with very trained ears, well versed in 'pristine' audio sound quality.
There is something very pleasing, and dare I say magical, about well maintained vinyl.
