I started out in vinyl slowly. I originally bought a $120 Denon table with cartridge and built in phono stage. It sounded horrible, but I used it for a few years and only upgraded to the Basis about a year ago.The Denon table allowed me to get started in vinyl cheaply and by the time I upgraded to the Basis, I already owned a lot of records. The majority of the albums I own are used rock albums from the 60’s and early 70’s and do not sound great, but for one or two dollars each, I can buy a lot more of them than new cds or records.
I do own a few new records. To be honest, even with the Basis table and new records, I am not convinced that records sound better than cds. Some albums do sound better (Nick Drake’s ‘Pink Moon’ for example), some do not. It is a different sound.
To end the rambling – I like inexpensive used vinyl, most of which sounds decently on my current setup. The majority of new stuff that I buy is still on cd. If I had it to do over again, I would still buy the turntable. The money that I have saved buying used vinyl vs new cds has already easily made the investment worthwhile. I am sure that this is audiophile heresy :)
