Besides providing a good listening experience, there is much to know and learn, especially if you re-enter the vinyl world after a long absence, and didn't know much when you left it. If you've gotten used to a quality listening experience with digital, jumping back into vinyl is a shock, as it doesn't come by just plugging stuff in and turning it on. It's taken me years to get analog to sound like I thought it should, but I love it now.
The variety of paths one can take in audio is nearly unlimited, and results can be surprisingly good whether you spend mega-bucks, or go with what your budget can alliow. Then there is the DIY aspect, one I'm particularly enjoying now, so it's just a great hobby, but you meet the main goal of getting to listen to well-reproduced music at the same time. What could be better?
Sorry to interrupt the jocular mood in this thread, but 'ya gotta do what 'ya gotta do.
