Bring Back Vinyl with a High-Fidelity Turntable
Dust off your vinyl records and enjoy them anew with high-end audio equipment
Vinyl records were the first music sources people could purchase and listen to in the comfort of their own homes. Before records, people were subject to the whims of the radio and had no avenue to choose the music they wanted to enjoy in private. The turntable, popularized in the 1950s, became the primary medium listen to music until the 1980s when the first Sony Walkman hit the music scene.
Throughout the 2000s, analog sources like vinyl have largely been overshadowed by digital sources like CDs and streaming. But today, vinyl records appear to be making a quiet resurgence. So, if you have a record collection gathering dust in your Morris County, NJ, house, there’s no better time than now to pull it out again. Sophisticated, high-end audio equipment has made it easier than ever to connect a turntable to your audio system and listen to records in high-fidelity sound at home.
