Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?

The decision to get into vinyl is a personal choice like everything. I think a turntable setup is one the most time consuming and critical aspects of any piece of gear. This component takes up the audiophile’s time more than other pieces of gear…to sound right. BTW I just bought a turntable myself. Also, I bought a good cartridge, a good platform base, a good phono amp, a record cleaning system and a dustcover. It IS an investment. Why did I do it? Well my mother died last month and I have been grieving. I have not listened to my stereo since this happened. When I was young, we listened to record albums of her favorite singers. I thought it would make me feel like listening to music again if I bought a turntable.

@2psyop ,

Sorry about your mom, man.

Buying a turntable and playing those records is a great way to reminisce and stay connected with those good memories.

 I have never done any golf except for miniature golf

I once built a miniature golf course from Lego. The ball kept getting stuck, never seen Lego figures cussing so much.

Thanks for the nice comment. You always have good advice. Much appreciated.

@grislybutter , but seriously, was that mini golf course you built located at Mar a Lego?
