But if you don't have an analog setup that can extract every bit of the beauty from these pressings.......Honestly , if I had that much dough , I would bug the living hell out of vinyl collectors and acquire the best , the absolute best pressings of my favourite albums in the best physical condition. The UK first mono pressings having double digit catalog numbers of Beatles studio albums alone would exceed this hypothetical budget.If I had any left I would get the highest end VPI.
It’s the source media that makes or breaks the sound and one should spend the maximum possible budget on it, IMHO.
