For me digital is better in all ways except the sound is better on Lp’s. Two years ago, I moved to a "Off The Grid" cabin and left the core of my system behind. I brought my records and left the Digital disc. I’m 69 years old and I grew up with vinyl. I remember sitting in the back seat of a 1950 Ford that belonged to my older sisters boyfriend listening to "Great Balls Of Fire" being played on a 45 record changer under the dash. These days our Cell Phones hold our entire digital music collection. Better, I think so, but that’s just me.
Digital is far better than vinyl
I have invested a decent sum of money into my digital setup, including a decent streamer (Innuos Zenith MK3), a very good dac (Denafrips Terminator 2), Eno filter, and good cabling. But after being told by many here that vinyl is vastly superior to digital, I thought let’s build an analog system and see what all the fuss is about. So this is what I did ...
I picked up an Audio Technica TT from Amazon for around $299. I then used one of the older integrated amps with a built-in phono, which I believe I paid around $500 a few years ago. And, finally, just to even out the playing field I bought the cheapest possible cables from alibaba. Since I didn’t have extra rack space to put the TT on, I got a couple of bricks and built a DIY platform for it.
So after listening to the analog setup for a few days, I can proclaim without a shadow of doubt that digital is far, far superior than vinyl on any given day, and twice a day on Sunday.
What has been your experience? And please, don’t mention your gear or any special. cartridges, isolation, etc. Not interested in your system details. I just want to make sure you guys understand that digital is far, far superior than vinyl.

@jefflz , Not really getting what you mean about unprofessional posts and a weak forum. Perhaps you could better explain through interpretive dance...💃 |
