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?

Thanks for the info on that, @sls883 .  I had no idea that there was that much to it.  I just kind of thought that you popped one cartridge  out and then snapped the new one in.

As I typed previously, this thread is making me feel better about not doing vinyl.  

@immatthewj I can't stand how anti-vinyl you are, we are going to turntable shopping tomorrow weirdo

Well, @grislybutter , if you are going to twist my arm and insist that I use your credit card(s) and/or debit card I guess I can see my way clear and consider myself up for our shopping trip.  Are you going to also front me a few k so I can stock up on some vintage LPs?
