Budding audiophile/vinyl questions

Good thread, I too realized I don't care as much as I thought I did. I want to go to tube equipment. Been looking at dynaco st 70's on eBay kinda pricely for 40 yo audio equipment. I have an old turntable out in the garage I will have to check it out tomorrow. Might want to trade it if it is any count.

Analog is fantastic. I just sold my tube amp (Jolida 302b), but still enjoy my Music Hall mmf-9 table. Once you spend a little time listening you truly appreciate how much smoother and warmer analog is over CD. I have an original Mobile Fidelity DSOTM that is pure heaven in vinyl.

Just wish I had more time to spend listening in quiet.

Tons of good tables/ cartridges out there. Find some time to visit some audio shops that have decent vinyl set-ups and enjoy. Don't buy junk, but don't listen to the old nut cases that tell you unless you put a $10k TT on top of special diamond coated rubber feet it will sound like AM radio....
