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

From an investment standpoint, you are better off getting a turntable over a streamer. Streamers are not like computers, every 18 months a better one comes out. Not so much with turntables. Once you own a streamer, you just plug in and go, there really isn't much involvement.  With a TT, you can spend unlimited time and money tinkering with it. Needles, cartridges, pre-amps, tone arms, etc...

Yes, records are stupid expensive, 2x the cost of CD's. Most records are at least $30 a piece, usually I feel lucky to find one at $25. 

My streamer and TT get almost equal use. It's hard to play a record and cook dinner. Dirty hands have no place near a TT. My TT aways sounds better over my steamer. The TT is only as good as a source, some records are crap, and a good TT will let you know that. Over the streamer that most stuff sounds the same. 

Out of curiosity, how much $$$ do you have invested each in your analog and streaming setups, and what are you using as a streaming service?  BTW, I can veryeasily tell the differences between various recordings of the same material in Qobuz, and I’m only using a $400 iFi Zen Stream (with their iPowerX power supply).

@soix my setup is mostly vintage, but have a new TT that was a few thousand, and a mid range streamer from Cambridge Audio. Use mostly Tidal. I can tell the difference from high-res to medium. My streamer does a good job of making most stuff sound good. There are only a few streams that I'll skip when they are bad. It's usually old Blues that just had crap recordings. My point was that my TT picks up bad recordings much easier then my streamer.

I am happy with my streamer/dac box. With the right set up, It sounds great. Digital changed the music business. Record labels, musicians, etc  are not getting paid what the used to. So, why not keep the old medium alive. No one mentions how distracting are the hisses, noises, and pops of vinyl. Yes, it sounds warmer, but at what cost? Frequency limitations? Old habits are hard to break.

Anytime, I tell any of my friends or any random person that I got back into vinyl a little bit ago goes on about the pops/hiss/noise of records. Yeah, that's what I also remember as a kid. However, now I know that the noise is from static, dirt, and bad stylus. After you clean a record, and use a good stylus, there is no pops, or hiss. Depending on the recording, no other noise.  Now on lesser recordings, the lack of fidelity bothers me.  After my cleaning process, they sound fabulous!  Usually better than streaming, or CD.
