I've been contemplating buying a turntable lately but frankly I fear the turntable. I read that you have to spend a bunch of money to get good sound from them. True? I also read that they have to be fiddled with to no end to keep the stylus on track and the cartridge aligned etc. True?

Does anyone have any thoughts(as if I have to ask) on living with vinyl? Recommendations? Any votes to "forget about it" and stick with digital?

I live the life I love and I love the life I live.
