^^^If for no other reason than because it's great fun and vinyl releases are often less compressed than their CD counterparts (at least the trashy pop and symphonic metal stuff I listen to).
<sigh> You can, I suppose, have masochism with anything, if you want it. But please remember that, for a long time, it was /the/ prime listening source, and for most of us it was no more painful than occasionally changing a stylus or just-maybe upgrading a cartridge.
Maybe there should be a system like some countries have for bikes. "Learners" should only be allowed to "drive" consumer turntables with few adjustments for, say, six months or a year.
If they still like "vinyl," they pass the test, and can, if they want, move on to more "powerful" machines.
(lol) and, but hey... enjoy whatever it is you enjoy!
I’ve been in the vinyl game for about 22 years. This is my first DD Technics which is a little easier but still different. I needed to keep raising VTA with my Nag cart to get the sound I’m looking for. As with everything in this hobby, there is usually some work involved.
