RP8 + Apheta2 + PS Audio NuWave preamp. I love vinyl, but the ritual...not so much. Lately, I’ve been using the NuWave to archive LPs at DSD double, or I’d go back to the Rega Aria. A clean record played on good gear is still quality listening, and a well matched setup needn’t go more than $4K if you’re willing to shop around. FWIW. Best of luck with your system!
Should I buy a VPI SCOUTMASTER. I OWN 25 RECORDS.
Should I pursue analog? Invest maybe 3 or 4 grand in a table and start buying records? Some stuff sounds really good on Vinyl but it's an expensive endeavor and NEW records aren't cheap. Plus thos pops and noise and a lot of setup required. Love the vintage aspect of it. Some records sound truly amazing on a really good table and cartridge. Take the plunge? Or buy a better DAC and dont look back!!! Lol.
