	I know I'll get flamed for this but I can't resist.
	
	Anyone who spent $1000+ for a turntable is going
	to convince themselves that the imaging, sound quality, etc
	is much better than a CD.  This will justify the money spent.
	(Audio abuse is like drug abuse, you have to keep on spending more
	money to get a better high).
							
	When I was looking for a CD player, I could only hear (not imagine) that
	CDs were by far superior to any of my LPs, on any of there
	turntables, at any of the stores (but again I don't have a Phd in audio
	imaging or is it audio imagining).

	If it makes you feel better to think good analog equipment is
	better, then keep on spending $200+ every 6mon. to  year for
	your cartridge, play those records you enjoy once a year to keep
	down the wear, or keep on buying the same record over-and-over again
	to maintain that 1st time sound quality.

	Me I'll spend the $500 for the CD player and  $10-$15 for CDs once.
	Compared to high quality analog equipment, replacement of a cartridge,
	buying Master and Import LPs (which are about the same price as a CD, if
	not more in some cases), and buying the same LP several times because
	the one you have as been worn though to side B. 
	
	Who is spending more ?
	
	JUST MY OPINION.
