I have to be in the mood to play vinyl, MY WIFE loves listening to Janice on vinyl, a few years back I bought her the collection box, she is wearing them out, lol. She plays them on the bedroom system which is nothing super special, all cheaper' stuff, tekton lores, jolida 202 tube amp, bellari preamp, music hall 2.2 table, its sounds clean and clear, plays pretty loud, but NOT the best sounding setup when compared to a well setup digital system for less money.
BUT what that system does, that say my formal parlor systems (dac, cd, player, ipad, big amp, and speakers) doesn't do is add ambiance, the tubes glowing, record spinning, different almost live concert like sound of the tektons unrefined output perfectly compliments the slight warbles, cracks, and pops that are there with vinyl...
FUNNY, where ever I go I google the area for hi fi shoppes... In Italy there was a cool shop, sadly the 2 people working the store were not GREAT with english, but we got by, they had a box that added "vinyl charactoristics" to modern day CD players, lol.. Couple that with one of them fancy amplifier looking lights the gentleman on ebay used to produce and sell (not sure if they are still around, essentially a metal chassis made to look like a tube amp with small edison bulbs and some circuitry to make them glow like tubes...) and you have a the same effect, but probably for much less money, lol...
ANYWAY, like frog legs in cream sauce, vinyl is an acquired taste...
