Vinyl

[David Vincent]

I have a Linn Sondek and a load of records but I haven't used it since about 1986. For me the convenience of listening via the computer far outweighs the extra sound quality you get from vinyl. I spend about 3 or 4 hours a day listening to music and there is no way that I could do that if I had to put a record on every time. Also with a computer you can see the musicians. The sound quality in the following clip of Brubeck playing Audrey is just terrible. But this clever film more than makes up for that. Desmond wrote Audrey for Audrey Hepburn.

When you see a great performance you get so much more out of it than just listening to it.

The Linn Sondek is a very nice piece of kit. I have an upgraded Rega with a new MC cartridge.
