There is an undeniable coolness about playing an LP and likely deep satisfaction when all the effort results in a first-rate playback experience, but the learning curve looks steep. Worth it?

Absolutely worth it. And for me it is not coolness. It is about the sonics. When I took the plunge and got my first vinyl rig the moment I dropped the cartridge into the groove I was hooked to the undeniable warmth, tonality, and dynamic range. Night and day to digital.
Disclaimer: my digital rig is old. But even at shows, like the CAF last weekend Vinyl sounds superior to the best digital in my opinion.
