Have you asked yourself this question?
Lately I have thought about selling my entire analog set-up: Turntable, phono preamp, and vinyl collection. It's a good system, but my digital system sounds good enough that I don't listen to the analog system any more.
For purposes of illustrating my dilemma, my system is as follows:
Analog system: Linn Sondek LP12, upgraded with Lingo II power supply, Karousel bearing, and trampolin suspension. Loci Psionic Tonearm with practically new Clearaudio Maestro cartridge. PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp. Plus, about 450 records, mostly popular stuff from the late 60s, 70s and 80s.
Digital System: Metrum Acoustics Streamer (Roon endpoint) plus Metrum Onyx DAC.
Just curious if any of you have thought about selling your entire analog rig, because you don't listen to it. What did you finally decide? Interested in your experiences.

You get a USB to SPDIF converter. Streamers always start with an asynchronous data stream, USB. This is the way information is exchanged in the computer world. The question is where the stream is clocked for music. It can be clocked in the streamer, or in the DAC, or as in my case, a very trick master clock. Moon Audio and Arrender make really nice converters. The best is the Berkeley Alpha USB. I have one, but I do not use it any more as I have a master clock |
I still have a very good TT , phono pre-amp etc but almost never listen to it. Even though I started buying high performance gear during ( possibly ) the golden age of tables. Some vinyl still sounds fantastic. Nowadays I can't get passed Clicks and Pops, takes me out of the moment...... Still, my Thorens remains with me..... |
