Thanks for the visual and a good laugh, @grislybutter .
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?

@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. |
Thanks for the info on that, @sls883 . I had no idea that there was that much to it. I just kind of thought that you popped one cartridge out and then snapped the new one in. As I typed previously, this thread is making me feel better about not doing vinyl. |
@immatthewj I can't stand how anti-vinyl you are, we are going to turntable shopping tomorrow weirdo |
Well, @grislybutter , if you are going to twist my arm and insist that I use your credit card(s) and/or debit card I guess I can see my way clear and consider myself up for our shopping trip. Are you going to also front me a few k so I can stock up on some vintage LPs? |
