Vinyl; can be pricy, and in a nutshell, the more you spend the better it gets. Not always the case with digital.
Lets work this through, a $3000 TT, a comperable arm would be @ $1000 - 1500, a comperable cartridge would be @$1000-1500, a comperable phono stage would be about $2000. So the whole vinyl system would be in the range of $7000-9000. (then you need a record cleaning machine)
That's not cheese whiz and I would expect it would sound very good indeed!
