This is pretty much right on, especially the part about spending so much on audio gear to get vinyl’s best sound out of it.
I’m frugal audiophile…okay, I’m a cheapskate. Right now, I’m rocking a cheap SONY CD player, a $45 tripath amp, and a set of Boston Acoustic speakers that I bought nearly brand new from Goodwill for $10. The entire set-up was well under $100, and it sounds way better than the system I put together in my youth, which was more like $1000.
To put together a vinyl system that sounds as good as this cheap crappy system I cobbled together, would cost me thousands.
