I have friends that are hardcore record collectors of obscure 70s punk, power pop, glam, etc. They have Marantz receivers and top of the line turntables, setups that approach like 10 grand. Then they listen to some of the most poorly recorded, cheaply pressed vinyl you can imagine.
Um you mean greatest music ever made vinyl SIR. The hiss and pop is part of the experience!
Seriously though, I love old punk records, especially when you can find self pressed shit from the 70s. Yea the quality sucks but god damn I’d rather hear that than overproduced, built by focus group crap today /rant
Tbf. many Marantz receivers sound fucking awesome. Although mine's from the 90s and cost me ~80€. Still blows anything I compare it to out of the water. A modern 1000€ Bluesound Powernode I used to have sounded anaemic in comparison. As a collector of obscure punk and prog vinyl I think it sounds best on a Frankensteined together system with some character that allows you to crank it loud.
Makes sense, I like vinyls for the deliberate retro experience of putting on the record and listening, but I have never agreed that they actually sound better. When CDs became mainstream I was personally thrilled.
I admit there's a part of me that wants a custom turntable, but you know what? I spent enough on what I've got. The whole system was just a few hundred bucks, and it sounds, plays, and looks perfectly fine for me. I'll never spend that much on an audio system. I'll just keep sinking stupid money into just records.
I should stop.
