Some people complain about how much they spend on Amazon...

My wife complains about how much I spend on Discogs.


I am in a Vinyl listening club with some other guys, and it's the most fun day of the month for me. I love it, and I love my vinyl collection.

So I inherited a medium Rubbermaid tub of vinyl. Mixture of 60's & 70's rock, pop, and country. Any of you folks in DFW interested in taking a look?

Disagree. In addition to what I've detailed, I would recommend:

- Transrotor's Argos
- Goldman Reference II
- Audio Consulting R-Evolution Meteor
- AV Design Haus' Dereneville
- Transrotor's Artus
- Kronos Pro
- Demmeler M4000 Ergonomix

There's plenty of great options. And no need to compromise on audio quality.

Vinyl should not be for recreational "hobbyists." True audiophiles appreciate artistic intention, which requires proper hardware.

OP, please let us know what you decide to go with.

Bump. Just added a turntable today. Yamaha MusicCast. Not to be that pretentious a-hole but man Steve Ray sounds awesome. This is gonna get out of hand quickly I'm afraid.

What player did you decide to go with?

The only way to properly enjoy vinyl is with a worthy player.

There is simply no other method.

It takes quite a bit of time and finesse to develop a proper palate.
