What is the point of buying vinyl records if you cannot listen to them! Listening to records is an enjoyable warm feeling. The more high-fidelity setup you have, the more enjoyable it can get! Unfortunately, this hobby is quite pricey. My setup costs around $2,000. Ultimately, even if you have a cheap setup, the mechanics work the same. You put the record on the turntable and you drop the needle onto the grooves. If setup properly, your speakers will bless your ears with wonderful music!
