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?
@sls883 , is a cartridge that hard to install? This is a serious question, as I have not owned a TT and played LPs since '82. (Following this thread is making me more and more happy that I have sold out to digital.) |
@2psyop very sorry for your loss. I think your Mom would want you to listen to your stereo. Maybe even play a record of one of her favorite singers. |
@immatthewj I did not want to talk about it but if you had to ask... I in fact tried to build one. I requested a Lego figure for trump but no at the factory accepted the request for mental health reasons. |
Thanks for the visual and a good laugh, @grislybutter . |
@immatthewj I have installed cartridges on my Music Hall turntable. I bought a little scale to measure tracking force. It wasn't terribly difficult, but I don't know if I had the tracking angle perfect, etc. I eyeballed it. When I bought my Hana cartridge, I had it installed by the dealer. They tweaked on it for quite a few minutes using special tools to get it to their liking. I'm sure with a little homework (YouTube videos) and some gauges, I could do it. It's not rocket science, but it has to be done properly to get the most out of your cartridge. |
