That's a hot cover!

Yes. He is THE man! I am a subscriber to Stereophile, and I'm usually blown away at the sheer quality of writing. Fantastic magazine.

What is amazing is a 100K turntable with a 60K arm, a 30K cartridge, and a 30K preamp... and that's just the front end. "Audiophile" stuff gets CRAZY!

Just remember that the guide you are using is probably like the OSPG - worthless. There are many out-of-print classical records, for example, that go in the thousands. In a world full of turntables that cost over 50K (!!!!) there are plenty of players willing to pay those sort of prices. But yeah, I think you're on the right track. I'd rather see you eBay them than take a bulk deal, unless you simply want to get them out of your house.

Step one. Get them OUT of your garage. If the heat warps them, they are worthless. Kind of like comics. Same thing with selling them, especially if you have no idea what you are sitting on. Never know. A few of those records could be worth thousands of dollars. Take your time.

Heck...I am a bigger fan of Paul McCartney's "Wings" that I am the Beatles. *ducks for cover*

I'm a music maniac. I've been playing music, making records, and touring for years. Not a popular opinion, but I find the Beatles horribly overrated. I just don't enjoy their vibe at all. I do enjoy Sgt. Pepper though. Close as they came to grabbing my heart. Once again, I know this is blasphemous, but I will usually do a hard pass on their music.

Amen. They usually ruin everything with compression, so it sounds no better than many of the other un-listenable albums being released today. I will NOT buy remastered discs.

This is absolutely my endgame.

My dad has an original pressing of Black Sabbath Vol. 4. Happens to be my favorite Sabbath album!

A properly set up turntable with a carefully selected pre-amp and dialed in cartridge is the absolute best way to enjoy music, outside of hearing it performed live in an acceptable-sounding venue. I'm not trying to start a digital/analog argument here but...trust me?

..and vinyl can get crazy expensive just like comics! Of course it depends on your level of obsession.

It's okay as long as your sound system is up to snuff.

I know they rotate in and out and handle other responsibilities to give themselves a break, and I'd bet they have some really nice magnification equipment to help with the eyes...but still. Almost seems "factory" in nature. I wonder how long I could do it before I hated it?

I can't imagine the eye strain.

KK 62 is dreamy.

BINGO!!!!

I think that may have been what the OP was asking for... a more specific breakdown in the census.

Not sure about mid-grades... I'm just commenting on modern collectors who will settle for nothing less than a 9.8.
