Already am. Having a disagreement with a guy on another group who
reckons hi end vinyl sounds way better - I mean obviously better than
CD.


This is a well-known scam. You're supposed to believe him and pay
1,000's and 1,000's on a fruitless search for the holy grail of a vinyl
playback system that actually sounds better than the audio section of a
good $50US DVD player.

Hopefully I am a tad smater than that - hence my desire to listen to a
system localy.


He suggested I should visit a hi-end hi-fi shop and listen to 5
to 10 grands worth of vinyl kit to hear what I have been missing, so
that's what I intend to do.


Only if your time is not worth very much to you...


Well, I am retired, I do have an open mind and it is a long time since I
heard a so called high end system.

Ian,

As its a long time since you've heard a high end system and (if you have)
plenty of time being retired then I'd suggest you don't rush into a
purchase. Don't just visit 'a' hi-end shop..... Listen to as many high end
systems as you can of both retailers and private systems to get some idea of
what a good high end system can sound like.

That's exactly what I planned to do. I mainly just want to listen to a
few to see if there is any basis at all to his claims. Only if it
really is absolutely astonishingly better than anything else will I
consider a purchase.
