an unfortunate confession

I listen to CD/SACD/DVD considerably more than I do to vinyl although I have more vinyl than all the digital combined.

(and a possible solution)

I could move my turntable to the living room! The problem is in finding a place to put it. Could I construct a wall mounted stand? I'm not really asking if I'm capable (might be a fun project); I'm curious about how well it could be expected to work. My record player is nothing special and certainly not a recent purchase - I've been through six (on the seventh) CD players while I've owned it. I bought a Thorens 126 MKIII while in Germany in 1981, and I picked up the Thorens Restak phono preamp to go with it. It's time for a new cartridge - still using a Shure V-15 V (bought 3 styli with it) in one wand and an Ortofon MC30 in the other. Where the hell was I going with this.?.oh yeah, it isn't anything special, but that beast just gets the job done and isn't easily distracted, if you know what I mean.

Others? I have no regrets about buying the CDs, just wish they all could be as good as the best ones I have. I felt like I was duped when I bought into quad - still have a Pioneer quad receiver and a Teac 4 track reel to reel packed away. There's a monster SAE parametric equalizer packed away too, along with an SAE time delay/reverb processor for ambience and an SAE pop/click box (with another one by Burwen Research) and a dbx 224 (I think that was the number) processor and God knows what else. I'm sure I'm not the only one with a list like that.
