Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?
I am thinking about getting a turntable but I have a Class D amplifier (Nad M33) which digitizes all the analog inputs. If the amplifier is just digitizing the source is there going to be any difference between the vinyl and just listening to lossless digital streaming sources? Is there any benefit to me, given my current amplifier with has no analog pass through capability, to adding a turntable to my system?

@immatthewj Are you sure you didn't mean Hot Tuna? Live at Berkeley '69? Smoke it if you got it. 🤣 |
@grislybutter I can say with some authority, that a golfers constant upgrading of equipment is not unlike this hobby. The endless pursuit of the smallest improvement. And the honeymoon period with a new club is much like the confirmation bias with that new cable. I'm sure I hear a difference, is just like I'm sure I'm hitting the ball further......... 🤣 |
@mahler123 "You’ve self identified as one who places significant value on the aesthetics of vinyl, which renders sound quality issues as secondary " Excuse me if I find that statement somewhat condescending. And you are not the first member on this site that has made disparaging comments about buying equipment for the aesthetics and the sheer joy many of us get from the ownership of beautiful equipment. I don't find that love of equipment and love of music are mutually exclusive. Just my opinion but one I'm sure is shared by many. Cheers. |
