Looks almost "all" of the opinions and issues have been told and discussed, I assume.
Just at least in my case...
I very recently revived my gem/treasure
TT DENON DP-57L + DENON DL-301MkII MC in my
DSP-based multichannel multi-SP-driver multi-amplifier fully-time-aligned (0.1 msec precision) fully-active stereo audio setup; please refer to
here and
here on my project thread.
What were/are my motivations?
1. Nostalgic aestheticity of TT (ref. photos
here and
here).
2. Naive nostalgia for "the ceremony" of vinyl listening.
3. My audio-DIY-ish interests in
"implementation of real-time on-the-fly listening to vinyl" in
DSP-based multi-channel multi-SP-driver multi-amplifier fully active audio setup which has safe and flexible on-the-fly relative gain (tone) control functionality.
4. My naive interest and curiosity for comparative listening to vinyl
vs. its CD release in my audio setup (ref.
here,
here and
here), only for a few (less than ten) vinyl disks; especially recently released well QC-ed thick heavy (188 gram!) 45 RPM vinyl of jazz piano trio music
vs. its CD release (ref.
here).
Since I have already accomplished (almost) all of the above
1. through
4., I assume I will seldom listen to vinyl (maybe once in two months, or less) even though the TT should remain in my multichannel audio rig because of
1. and
2.
And, you would please note that I have already "digitized" all of my around 300 old LPs into 192 kHz (or 96 kHz, 44.1 kHz) AIFF format and have taken the digitized LP tracks into my digital music library (ref.
here and
here).
BTW, some of my audio/music enthu friends, including "the" jazz fanatic gentleman (ref. here and here), may bring his/her favorite vinyl records to my listening room for our vinyl ceremony and listening enjoyment using my latest DSP-based multichannel audio setup (ref. here) having TT in it.
I essentially agree with @Sal1950's stance and points on this topic.
