Analog vs digital?

My friends $25,000 TT blows away his $500 CD player.  Another friends $5000 CD player certainly sound better than his Grace TT (rebadged Planar 9), Grace 707 arm, and Grace F-9 cartridge, but not by as much as I would have thought.

I had a medium big-buck analog set-up vs early digital. It was absolutely no contest.

I've had a succession of digital systems in desktop audio setup ever since. Over the years digital has definitely gotten better: expecially w/multibit or NOS/multibit DACs, there is far less of the classic digital nasties than before. Also, the purity of tone & timbre have improved IMO, particularly w/multibit/NOS.

But I expect a well setup medium big-buck vinyl system would still handily win in comparison to digital. I'm no longer in a position to test this, but it's what I predict.

I both love digital and analog , but I prefer vynil.

@nzastro just curious about your digital setup what is your source? I googled the  Singer-SU6 and it looks like it's a digital interface not a streamer. So what is your source for streaming?

Your system is more synergistic to the tt
