@jmphotography -- I’m in the same boat as you are. I never seriously got into vinyl to begin with. I did have a collection of about 500-600 CDs that I unfortunately lost during a move. Since then my CD player died a few years ago and I never bothered to get a new one. So it’s 100% digital/streaming for me now.
Lately, I am getting the itch to try out vinyl but not sure if it’s worth the extra cost and hassle. Based on my research, there is no point in getting into analog until you are willing to spend at least $5-7k if not more for it to truly make a difference. Then I figure I have to spend probably a few thousand dollars to get a decent vinyl collection going.
Eventually I’m going to build an analog rig, but for now I’ve decided to continue to improve the digital chain, i.e. buy a more expensive streamer (Wolf Audio, Lumin U1), better DAC, better power supplies for my router, switch, Roon core, etc.
