Love the 272 please update - 1 click like post

Definitely thinking Rega. I’m definitely thinking of chucking the digital towel in. Too much aggro.

Or a Technics SL1200.

Riding the wheels of steel over the event horizon of History…

No. 100% Rega. It just works. A bit like a Marshall Town trowel. :upside_down_face:

And there was me thinking my 272 is designed to play back files at up to 24-bit/196kHz!

Do you have a lot of hires files?

Ah so it’s about SQ, not catalogue after all. I can’t complain

It’s over priced garbage. A bit like Papa Johns Pizzas. :slightly_smiling_face:

Oh OK then

But try this DJ program and tell me you wouldn’t have more fun with 2 Technics decks and a mixer:

Bring back Olive! :sunglasses:

Enough to know I’m perfectly happy with CD quality. If others are content to pay 2-3 times as much for hi-res, and believe it sounds ‘better’, that’s their prerogative. Choice is a great thing.

Yes, you could swop it all for a really swanky Rega/Olive system.

To be fair, Tidal CD quality and Qobuz with the hi-res mixed in costs the same

I was talking about ownership rather than rental.

That costs 3 times as much? Oh OK, the few hi-res files I downloaded came with vinyl purchases, never bought one. Seems excessive

I already have a olive active system and from memory my new obscenely priced modern system is not as good.

In the loft?

Yup. :sunglasses:

Well, get it down and plug that beauty in!

And if your theory holds up you can flog the other stuff.
