If you are close to South Carolina, and want to experience what a high-end, well-set up audio system with a turntable source sounds like, drop me a PM. I have over 12k records and will be happy to play whatever you want to listen to. Digital today is MUCH better than than what it used to be 20 years ago, but even a high-end, high-res digital source (a $15K to $30K streamer and DAC) can't come close to the soundstage, imaging, depth and timbre of a good turntable. The only advantage to using digital, in my opinion, is the totally black background that is very difficult to achieve with a mechanical source, and the convenience of easy access to millions of songs on your tablet.
Cons of going to a turntable source:
1. Components are expensive. A decent table and phono-stage that is worth listening to will set you back $4k to $5k. A good table, tonearm and cartridge will easily set you back 10 times that.
2. Records have become horrendously expensive, especially the highly desirable (and often the best sounding) originals/first pressings. There was a time in the 90's and 2000's when you could buy clean originals for $1 to $10 because the stores couldn't give them away, but those days are long gone.
3. You have to get up every 10 to 25 minutes to flip the disc.
4. You have to clean your records and check your stylus alignment every once in a while.
