This is very well said and I couldn't agree more. I'm a VPI owner, too, and I have no plans to give up on the LP. But the cost of really good LP playback is very high; listeners like me (and probably Mikado463) have been able to spread that cost out because we've been into it for so long. The combined cost of my turntable, stand, motor controller, pick-up arm, cartridge, phono preamp, cabling, record cleaner, setup tools and maintenance devices would just not be worth it to me if I was starting from scratch today.
