You'll be sorry if you DO (get into vinyl)....in addition to what's been said, I believe there is a cult issue with this, and since hi end audio is a cult to begin with (ask your friends who are non-audiophiles), the cult within the cult just sucks the life out of bang for the buck. I grew up with lps. And jumped to CDs as soon as they became available. I still have a turntable and my old lps and once in a while I buy a used lp...but if someone pointed a gun to my head and said, choose one, CD's would win hands down.
Considering going Vinyl--Please talk me out of it
I'm standing here on the vinyl cliff,peering over the edge...I had a TT in the eighties & nineties, an AR with the Underground Sound mods by George Merrill from Memphis, TN. It got destroyed in a series of moves, and my vinyl disappeared. I have a perfectly good CD player(Denon 1650AR),EAD PM2000 amp & EAD Ovation plus prepro, & thiel 2.3's. I would need a phono preamp before I could run whatever TT I obsess over enough to buy, as the Ovation has no phono stage. Push me over, or save me! mb
