Quit vinyl?

I'm in the process of upgrading my system, and looking for a new amp. All modern amps have only line inputs, so I either have to keep my Rotel RQ 970 pre-pre, or find a suitable amp. Now I asked myself how often I use my turntable, and that is not much, actually: almost never. So should I quit vinyl, sell mu turntable and pre-pre, which also will provide some extra cash, or do you guys reckon I will kick myself in the head in a couple of years? Any experiences? BTW, it's not a question of sound quality, just convenience and space, and I own about 400 records....

Thanx, Satch.

I wonder if your reluctance to make this decision reflects an attachment to your 400 records, to your rig or both?

If it's mostly your records you feel attached to, why not sell the rig but keep the records? That way when you come to your senses all will not be lost. Replacing a TT is easy enough. Replacing old vinyl favorites may not be.

If space is that tight, send the vinyl to Dan_ed for safekeeping. I'm pretty sure he'd take good care of it for you!
