I?ve been an analog nut (for Turntables) ever since I walked into a local hi-fi shop in the early nineties and ignorantly asked ?hey you got a lot of turntables here, are they on close out?? Thankfully the owner didn?t boot me out on my arse. He politely explained ?I think you might have been misinformed about just how good a turntable can sound, let me show you?.

He demoed a Linn LP12, playing back through a pair of B&W 801?s. I nodded and said that sounds ok? Later as we were getting into the car, I turned to my girlfriend at the time and proclaimed ?I?m getting a system like that one day?.

Years later I had my system, not exactly the one I had auditioned that day, but similar. I?d become a bonafide hi-fi nut, but specifically an analog nut. Here it is almost 15 years later and my turntable passion is still going strong, I still buy LP?s from local shops and enjoy listening to records (the vinyl 12? kind) on the weekends.

My goal with this site is to share news, product information and anything else that comes down the pipeline, for other analog aficionados or those just curious about what all the fuss is. Just because I have a (somewhat) high end system, won?t mean that?s all we talk about here, to the contrary I love just about all turntables, and look forward to exploring as many as possible. Who knows maybe someone will read this site and buy their first turntable!
