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.
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?

@thecarpathian Good point, if he had an external phono stage, would it be analog signal or the M33 would still convert it to digital? |
Whathifi rates the internal phono section highly, though it's not clear as to what deck and cartridge (MM/MC?) they used. They mention "Thorens" but when I clicked on their various test rooms/systems I could not find a Thorens listed. https://www.whathifi.com/reviews/nad-masters-m33
