Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital?

Will you miss the vinyl ritual, or be liberated by the digital variety?  On paper you can build a great streaming system, but the devil is in the details.  So, if we were talking about your new found love for performance piano and have thoughts of turning pro..maybe don't quit your day job prior to making sure that your new gig is working out.

I am with you @mikelavigne just not quite to the extent you have committed . I enjoy digital and analog, streaming and server, LP, and like them for what they do well and do not dwell on what they lack. No matter the format enjoy the music. 

Why are you against upgrading the phono, the amp and the platform altogether? The tt upgrades are coming quite inexpensive so that makes sense.

Well it was based upon this:

I am satisfied playing lps, I do it when I can focus on music, but sometimes it`s tempting to have the same quality, just a button away.

If you are hot on the digital then maybe a TDAI integrated would be on the list of integrated amps to consider… as it has the room correction and a Roon player built in?

Don’t resist digital. It is inevitable. You will be assimilated.

That said, don’t give up analog. You probably have a long and memorable history with it.

Both.

I think your goals will determine your direction.  I love finding new artists and it’s my primary goal, consequently streaming…….I never knew their were so many talented groups that exist.  You won’t find them in your record collection..
