I love the idea of vinyl. I bought a turntable to listen to my parent’s old records. It sounds good but I’m going to stick with streaming. I personally hate cleaning records and starting a record collection in this era is extremely expensive. Enjoy the music 👍

My guy, allow me to explain that there has been a very open challenge with a prize of 1 million dollars if someone can reliably hear cable differences in a blind test. This bounty is of great proportion for something that people claim to be able to do so easily all the time... yet this challenge has never been completed to prize winning level. Why? Why is it there are thousand dollar cables.. even ten and 20 and even more priced cables... and all of them being so costly that surely the makers of these cables would love to prove their product is the best because they have the ability to win a million dollars with them... why dont they? Why do they pass up this challenge and not win 1 million dollars and prove the skeptics wrong? Save your money for things that can easily be proven. Also, if you are not A/B testing the cables (blinded with someone else making the switch) then there is no way you would really tell a difference. Our audio memory abilities are not very good even if you have exceptional hearing... you will not be able to accurately tell any differences if it takes more than simply switching immediately. We have known this about hearing for a long time. I have some decent cables, and by decent I mean I buy sturdy cables that will last while knowing they do not enhance the sound compared to cheaper cables. I prefer balanced if it is an option because I dont want the chance of electrical pollution to be a thing.
