Hi,
I was an early convert to CD in 1988 (I'm 54) and sold my 70s vinyl collection to fund CDs (and now stream everything). I have a few that I bought a bit later as they were '£1 each' and I couldn't justify buying the CD!
Anyway I have a Devialet 250, and finally gave in to my wife's wishes to get a Rega P3 - she still has her vinyl and wanted to get the new Nick Cave on Vinyl rather than a download.... (technology she hates)
So - it sounds great I must say. 'Different' to a high res download but no less enjoyable. Thought I might pick up a few of my previous classic albums again - Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Clash, Stiff Little Fingers. Bloody Hell....... the prices on some of these in 70s pressing good condition.
What's the deal? How can The White Album be worth £400, and Animals £100? Is there a trick to getting some nice vinyl without getting scalped?
I would want to have a few classic albums to enjoy playing 'slowly' rather than just streaming. Don't see the point of a 'digitally remastered' on vinyl...
