I'm running a Thorens TD115 thru a MAC 1900 receiver. Had both of them since the late 70s. I own vinyl - I have a few direct to disc or "first pressing", the majority are store bought either new or used.

How much do you want to spend, what sound quality are you looking for and what is your convenience tolerance? Finally, what do you want to get out of the music you play?

I listen to allot of music and I just want it to stream - I'm not interested in the audio quality. However, listening to vinyl is a different experience to me. It is a enjoyment and for whatever reasons, takes time to sit and listen. I either don't have the time or want to take the time - my loss.

I'm surprised of those younger than me have an appetite for vinyl. Its refreshing.
