You really sounds as though you should not be in this forum. You should be spending your time with your tv.
Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.
Yeah it may be better than digital. But come on. 3K+ for a cartridge. Cleaning machines. Preamps. VTA adjustments. noisy records. expensive software. By the time you get it all set up you are ready to just turn on the tv and watch Sportscenter. Is there any alternative?
