Title: Never going back to digital...
Post by: ike on May 29, 2014, 04:28:09 PM: I got this deck 2 months ago - Opera-Consonance - Droplet LP5. I pretty much stop listening to digital... playing through the wonderful Eros. Loving it!

Congratulations!

. . . Cleaning and flipping records is nice . . . .

Cleaning is a necessary evil to me. It gives me back pain so I put it off too long. I now have a 6" stack waiting. But it is very effective.

Post by: pvannest on June 09, 2014, 12:57:24 PM: That is one beautiful table. I lust for it... I do agree with Johnsonad though. Don't give up on digital. I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning new/used records I picked up from Goodwill. After the third album I needed a bit of a break and turned on a CD to just relax and enjoy. I am not as critical as I am with my vinyl, but critical none the less. Given the right components, digital can still blow you away. Every now and then I just like to relax, listen to music and not worry about the end of an album. :-*
