I have never owned a high end turntable.  Just when I could finally afford 
one, the CD came along and displaced the audiophile LP.  Around 1982 or 1983 
I went into a local Hi-Fi shop and tehy were selling all their audiophile 
recordings at agreatly discounted price.  They had several of many titles and 
only one of many titles.   I told the owner that I'd give him a dollar each 
and take one of every title in the lot.  Over the years I had gotten to know 
him well because I had bought so much stuff from him.  I was actually only 
half serious and half joking with him when I made the offer.  He said OK, so 
I ended up with a big stack of great records.  Many of the LP's were DBX 
encoded.  DBX encoded LP's just about died instantly when hte CD was 
released, even though CD's and CD players offered only mediocre sound at an 
outrageous price.
