@tgrisham I don’t see a cleaning system for the vinyl. That’s necessary as is a Zerostat device for static. Vinyl is NOT convenient. But it will reward you. Fwiw, I just bought a streamer for my future days as I age and don’t feel like the ritual that vinyl demands. I have digital that rivals analog. But I have yet to hear any that is better than the vinyl. But for convenience, digital wins. But not for sound IME. It’s ok to enjoy both. I do.So do many others here.
I must be old
Listening tonight to Heavy Weather on first vinyl then CD through a Sonica DAC it occurs to me that there are no pops, the stage separation is larger, the dynamics are larger and the instruments are better defined. My record album is not brand new. It has surface noise. My CD does not. I want to love my vinyl but unless I buy perfect new LPs I cannot tolerate the surface noise or lack of frequency limitations for the sake of euphonic sound. Am I crazy? Misinformed? Stupid? I have been an audiophile for 50 years.
