Have you asked yourself this question?

Lately I have thought about selling my entire analog set-up:  Turntable, phono preamp, and vinyl collection.  It's a good system, but my digital system sounds good enough that I don't listen to the analog system any more.

For purposes of illustrating my dilemma, my system is as follows:

Analog system:  Linn Sondek LP12, upgraded with Lingo II power supply, Karousel bearing, and trampolin suspension.  Loci Psionic Tonearm with practically new Clearaudio Maestro cartridge.  PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp.  Plus, about 450 records, mostly popular stuff from the late 60s, 70s and 80s.

Digital System:  Metrum Acoustics Streamer (Roon endpoint) plus Metrum Onyx DAC.

Just curious if any of you have thought about selling your entire analog rig, because you don't listen to it.  What did you finally decide? Interested in your experiences.

Haven't seriously collected records since CD’s hit the scene, but still have probably 500. Have a turntable set-up properly and spin a disc occasionally, probably more than anything to show people and let them hear it.

But now that I am retired and have more time to devote to listening to music its almost 100% streaming for me, the amount of great new music coming out and the ability delve into the back catalogs of artists make me wish I only had more time for it! Its more about the music than the medium.
