If it comes up on any of my saved searches let me know if I am bidding against you.  My ID is the same as here.

Ten months later I have played a dozen or two dozen CDs.  It has all been LPs otherwise.

Till I earn some money I won't buy the Eros but it is the first thing I will do when I am made an offer.

I received 2 Bluegrass LPs this week.  The first one is The Tony Rice Unit, "Acoustics."  The second is David Grisman "Acousticity."  BTW, they were $5 and $6 delivered.
....

Okay, Grainger, thanks for the tips on these records, but where did you turn these up at such a good price, delivered?  A Discogs seller has a copy of "Acoustics" LP for $25.

Record collections seems so much smaller when you only count the well-recorded/produced ones....

Cute, but the constant whistling and clatter would disturb me.  The steam on the LP might pose a problem, or might clean it, who knows?

Syncro, I bought them on ebay.  I have set a maximum of $10 delivered for LPs.  I do know I was lucky that there were no competing bids but Bluegrass doesn't seem to be as competitive as some other genres.

I've always been tempted by vinyl. Since high rez digital has come along my attention has been diverted. For me I guess it just comes down to where I'm willing to spend the money. Good to hear you're enjoying it so much.
best regards, John

Sorry

Have to say I enjoy CD more,
Probably cause I switched over in the late 80's, and built a system to make CD sound the best it could, which means that vynil now does not cut the mustard in the Bass dept.

Guess thats why I came over to tube amps, to calm down the treble from early CD players, though they have got alot better since then and I don't miss the crackles, in fact I now hate it when new CDs have fake crackle on them, though the new OMD has got a great track where they use a crackle loop as the bass track.

Before you ask yes I still have a record deck, its a Mithell Syncro (the perspex and glass platter one) that loks fantastic, with a moth arm and a Goldring 1042, so not too bad.
