Always worth the extra effort. Some of it is just the challenge to optimize your vinyl, but it pays off with something special... Love my digital, which is very capable, but it doesn’t have the same magic. Uber you know we are correct...
Is it all worth it?
Do you ever get the feeling when you start to question whether playing records is really worth it all?
You know with everything involved with great record playback.
The setup, the cleaning regime, the $1000 plus cartridges that start their finite lifespan as soon as stylus first touches vinyl and spirals into less and less value with every play.
All the tweaks involved, cables, mats, isolation etc.
Then the media itself with it's inevitable disapointments.
Don't you just like to push a couple buttons on your phone app and be listening to great sound with a worldwide catalogue at your fingertips.
Or is it that when all of it lines up and the sounds are just sublime, then yes you sit back with a wry smile and say...
Yep, it's all worth it!
