Way too much for what vinyl delivers in my instance. Regardless of the Technics sl1300, hana sl MC low, Gold Note pre amp and 50-75 high quality and expensive- $40 - $60 average cost- records I'm intolerant of the inferior sound, surface noise, and mechanical care of vinyl. It's exactly what I thought it'd be- an expensive and finnicky walk down memory lane I no longer care to take. Streaming sounds way better, is totally convenient, laughably inexpensive and allows me endless choice, the ease of changing tracks and artists from my chair instead of getting up every 2o minutes to flip a record and clean a new one only to have surface noise anyway.
