Would you still pay $10k or more for a turntable not full analog front end these days ?


Or you would rather pay that for a streamer ?

There’s space in my systems for most of the above. I waited a decade plus to buy a Linn Klimax DS2 at an affordable (used) price. Some Qobuz or NAS (CD and vinyl rips) tracks sound so amazing I almost want to cry.  I’m an ex radio DJ and putting together a great playlist with Qobuz and NAS with the Linn app puts the emphasis on musical enjoyment, not fussing with things. 

I have some great records and when I have time, the ritual and sonic experience is wonderful and nostalgic. So is it worth $10k, heck yeah. Don’t ask us, just have fun researching, auditioning, and setting up. Our opinion doesn’t matter, your enjoyment does. 

“system 2” is wired whole house and has a Nakamichi 680ZX, which I love for the things that only exist on cassette. And streaming. And FM but don’t listen much to that anymore.
