Imagine the decline in quality of vinyls; even with good speakers/headset.good question jwee.
With a stupid answer.
One of those why would you climb a mountain things. Because it's there.
Seriously, just something to do over the long winter months I guess. Technology has been out there for a few years now and I have been waiting for it to become affordable, which is always relevant I suppose. I would never get rid of my vinyl. I still listen to them every day. And there's no way I would ever convert all of my albums, even if I wanted to. The end result would be having some of those precious tracks on my mp3, without having to repurchase. As far as the sound quality, I have no idea. Do you have experience to know it is way below original? If so I may reconsider. Sure wish I could hear some stuff that has gone through this process.
thanks for your input
