Adding on to what @thecarpathian stated, many of the comments also seem to revolve around the convenience factor of digital, which it certainly is, but that’s not the underlying reason not to get into vinyl. I mean it can be and is a valid reason for sure, but would think anyone considering vinyl is already aware, vinyl is not convenient and not the point
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?

If you have a lot of vinyl or want to get into spinning records it’s worth it. IMO. I moved on from vinyl in the late 80s when CDs hit and now I’m streaming more than playing CDs. There’s something special to some about owning physical media especially albums besides cleaning out seeds and stems. It’s your hobby and musical journey. Go where your muse takes you. |
@thecarpathian Good point, if he had an external phono stage, would it be analog signal or the M33 would still convert it to digital? |
