This is exactly what I did. Two years ago I purchased a digital only system. As many here may recall, I thought I had arrived. I had a good analogue sounding DAC and the music was great. It was enjoyable. I now have a new digital system (EMM DAC + PRE + N30SA), which has been upgraded. It's awesome and still breaking in. I really like my digital! Yes, it sounds analogue!!!
We just moved a couple months back. All my friends in N FL have vinyl. This is essentially all they listen to. So, when I visited them during the last few months, I heard vinyl again and again and again. During this time I think I learned how to listen better. I wasn't really trying to, but it was just happening. I was being drawn more and more into the music. There was more emotion being set free in my soul when hearing vinyl. I began to realize what I was missing. I heard the differences more and more - and they weren't subtle.
I desired a TT before all this, but the visiting and listening to other's systems got me addicted. My TT will be delivered and setup on the 15th, 'if all goes as planned.' A TT pro is flying in to set it all up with my dealer... I was told to expect at least an 8 hour setup (J. Sikora Standard Max [183 lbs.], KV12 tonearms, Opus1, MSL SP carts).
Something else I've discovered in this exercise. I'm not really a classical music type person. I listened to some on streaming (N100H which is gone now), but it just didn't grip me. But with the differences I'm hearing with vinyl I'm actually somewhat drawn more to it. At a friend's home, I requested to hear classical album. That's not like me at all. I'm still going to listen to female vocals and soft rock for sure, but I never thought I would say that I enjoyed classical.
Warning: If you have a digital only system, don't visit friends that have a well set-up vinyl system. You're going to desire one!
