Hi, "Me",
You may be right. I do believe that unless you have the ability to adjust for an infinite set of variables you're best off just setting (to the best of your abilities) and forgetting (unless your one of the obsessive/compulsive types) and just enjoy the music. However...
I also have experienced the satisfaction of dialing in a cartridge alignment and tonearm configuration and phono stage setting that does indeed bring out the best in what an analog system has to offer. Is it critically important? Maybe, maybe not.
If you care about the music AND the sound, you'll care about the music AND the system. If you only want to hear music, you'll just "plug and play", sit back, and listen. Obviously, there are gradations. But the hobby of stereo sound, and especially vinyl playback, does involve (by default) a certain amount of effort. I enjoy music. I enjoy the hobby. Therefore, I enjoy the effort.
Regards,
Tom
