Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.

No its not annoying, yes its worth it. I am guessing that most of the discontent are from the younger generation. When you are used to easy its hard to actually doing something, like what it takes to enjoy vinyl LP playback, cleaning LPs, setting up and keeping your rig in top playing condition, getting up and flipping LPs, thats hard stuff. yea right.
I just did a comparing between Led Zeppelin two CD and LP, the CD is not even close, the LP has slam, involvement, intimacy, and is so much more enjoyable. Heck its a blast when traveling seeking out record stores or other means of searching out LPs. Its fun. And sometimes you find a real gem. For my music preference more music is available on LP.
That being said music is the most important thing. thats why we are into this hobby. some of the other posts mentioning musical enjoyment from ipods, music servers, ect. is fine and i am all for it.
But when it comes time for serious sit down music listening its got to be vinyl playback. JMO

Chadnilz, my darTZeel NHB-18NS preamp, which includes a phono stage (you can have up to 4 separate phono stages installed) is battery powered.

darTZeel preamp

although it is the best phono stage i have heard; there are many great phono stage's i have not heard. it's not cheap but it's wonderful. IMHO battery power; properly executed, is the way to go for preamps.....i don't believe in battery power for amps.

You really sounds as though you should not be in this forum. You should be spending your time with your tv.

Actually some of these "analog vs. digital" threads are far more annoying than vinyl will ever be.

All of course IMO

Your are so right Audiofeil, time to go spin so lps.
