Hi all,

A couple of weeks ago, I solicited opinions on whether I should
pruchase a new lower cost TT like the Pro-ject, et al, or
refurbish
my
old Denon DP-62-L that had been in storage for some time, as I
reenter
the analogue world. Well, I took the TT in to my trusty local
store,
Audio Ectasy, and had them mount a new Grado Red, Audioquest mat,
and
replace the stock cable with Audioquest. I also bought a Record
Doctor
and some isolation feet from Audio Advisor. I've lived with the
combo
for a few days now. The results? WONDERFUL! After having spent
a
week in Carnegie Hall recently, conducting and hearing 4
concerts,
I
now remember why I like analogue so much. It's MUCH more like
music
in
a good hall. Thanks to everyone for your advice.

Hmmm, someone who lives with live music and thinks vinyl is much
more
like it than CD playback. And with an entry level system no less.

Hmmm, does this mean that the next time someone suggests that vinyl
is
less than perfect, we won't hear in response, "Well, that's because
you've never heard a really high-end rig"?

Who ever said vinyl was perfect? The point of using a high end rig for
comparisons to CD is for the sake of hearing each medium at their best.
What does it mean to say one prefers CD over vinyl when the comparison
is made with inferior vinyl playback equipment?
