+1 @jeffseight lol exactly.
The money pit of all money pits is high-end analog turntable playback, an outdated tech with zero chance of true sonic innovation versus digital sources which are only getting started on their innovation curves.
My $30K digital source chain ALREADY sounds almost as good as any of my previous analog setups - even streaming is QUICKLY gaining sonic ground on the local high rez pcm or dsd files on my NAS.
Having a modest turntable makes sense if you have some LPs, but you should really allocate the bulk of your money for spending big on the FUTURE of hifi playback rather than its past.
