Hi Rob, Charlie. I probably should just maybe bow out as I am taking up needless space for those that do own and love the WT etc. Charlie, I use to own a fairly top spec LP12 at the end of my LP adventures, and probably would still have it, but life intervened in a rather large way. But I have been around WT tables probably since the late-90's or thereabouts, and have listened to the various ones and do know what they are capable of, including the Simplex and Amadeus. I do know what the fuss is all about!
What I do not want to convey is my dis-satisfaction or being burned out on what I have currently. In fact, I am extremely pleased with my Uniti. It just works well and sounds great to me as a source. Yes, believe me, I do understand the goose-bumps, the special occasion or the "process" with analog and the sonic delights, and I do love it. I realize there is a wealth of used LP's out there, but again, does it make sense in some aspects to spend say 3-5K(depending on finding used gear etc.) and then throw in the start of another medium all over again at this stage? That is the hard part for me to swallow at this juncture, but also something I do tend to come back to time and again.
Again, I suppose it is all about perspective, and more importantly for me right now, the money. So, chewing the fat I suppose, and lurking still.
