Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?

This can be fun technics has reasonable turntables at great prices.best buy has some inexpensive you may be able to try it take it back by 15 days.you may have a pre amp with a moving magnet or moving coil stage.then you could go to yard sales ,good will salv army and hunt for vinyl.not the fence type but think of the fun you can have doing this on a budget.then when you think vinyl is art of your streaming,cd system cuz it's fun to change it up.my first turntable was best buy 150 with stylus plug and play now I have 6 all bought used.they hook up to pre amp with phono stage then out of preamp into splitters that take them into class a krell,class a/b michi class h, and multiple class d amps.they all sound great.enjoy the hunt.

“Is there any benefit to me, given my current amplifier with has no analog pass through capability, to adding a turntable to my system?”

Define benefit….

A good vinyl collection would take years to assemble and cost somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000. However, one definition of an audiophile is a person with $50,000 to $100,000 of audio equipment and a dozen LPs which he uses to listen to his equipment (not to the music). That definition comes from a man who owned a store for 40 years serving audiophiles.  He was in the business because he loved, and was very knowledgeable about, music. He had a collection of many thousand LPs. We bonded over our mutual admiration of the transcendent voice of Elly Ameling. A music lover could be transported by her voice with one of her LPs played on a $2,000 system.

Yes, back to the original question - "is vinyl worth it"?

I listen to a lot of rock / metal / pop / new wave from 1970s through 1980s, and for this material the sound quality on vintage vinyl is often far more enjoyable compared to what’s available on digital formats - at least, that’s how I hear it. The overall mastering quality is what’s at play here; it’s not JUST the "loudness wars" thing, and usually the difference is large enough that it overrides other concerns like: extra ADC / DAC conversion, DAC quality, tubes vs SS, $400 vs $4000 cartridge, or Class D versus class A / AB.

If I were focused mostly on music produced since the 1990s, new music, and reissues of older albums, then I’d honestly be hard pressed (haha) to recommend vinyl at all - some of the new music releases are superb on vinyl, but so is the digital side. And frankly, used vinyl prices have gone up so much in the last 10-15 years, that if I were starting out fresh today it would be a real bummer. The only silver lining is there’s a LOT of cool older analog gear available on the used markets - so if you like to experiment (like I do), the world is your analog sandbox.

Like all things in this hobby, we can (and do) discuss the pros vs. cons all day long, but the only way to figure out which side you fall on is to dip your toe in. Sometimes I find the pundits right, sometimes wrong - and I’ve surely doled out plenty of advice that has fallen both ways too :-/

Yuuuppp… don’t do it.

Waste of time and your money. Mixing analog and digital does Neither Any Good…
