I've been in the audiophile world for about a year now, and I am enjoying it. Although, my life has been 100% digital. My current setup has been playing HDtracks through JRiver media center. The analog world is calling my name, and turntables have been catching my eye recently. I have not been able to find a clear pro/con list of using vinyl turntables besides DJ forums. What I have found is that they take a lot of cleaning and maintenance to maintain, but, to me, that is a pro. I love to take care of my equipment. So, sort of taking price into consideration, is it a new world I should enter? I wouldn't want to spend more than $2k on a turntable unless it drastically improves sound quality.

Thanks for the help
