It can be fun in and of itself and the end result is definitely worth it.I got (back) into vinyl about 2 years ago and haven't looked back. I still listen to an occasional CD, but probably less than 5% of the time.
I'm not a constant fiddler, so once I got my TT setup I don't give a whole lot of thought to VTA, VTF, skating, etc. And I really only have to do the WHOLE record cleaning routine (various solutions, cleaners, machines, steam guns, etc.) once. I DO brush the LP with an anti-static brush and use my anti-static gun each time I play one. And I clean the stylus with a Zerodust every 5-6 LPs. But that's about it.
But, oh, the music! To my ears, it's so much richer and more "musical" than CDs. If you can, get a LP that you have the CD for and do a comparison. In my experience, I prefer the vinyl 80-90% of the time.
And for me there's the nostalgia factor, - vicariously reliving my younger days. Plus there's something more "personal" about an LP - who owned it originally, the somewhat musty smell of the cardboard, the cover art, the text big enough to actually read, the thrill of finding a long sought LP at the salvage or discount store. etc.
