WOW
I stopped listening to vinyl because it didn't sound too good, I got tired of changing the steel needle and cranking the arm to wind the motor after every song LOL!
The OP, according to previous and current posts, is using a basic, 15 year old, Marantz CD player and 1980's Denon 50 Watt per channel Receiver into B & W speakers and prefers the vinyl playback of Project Debut Carbon Evo turntable. I'm not surprised!
JJbeason14, any discussion regarding vinyl playback is better served when we know the rest of the vinyl playback chain, ie cartridge and phono preamp.
Not trying to be critical, but this forum is a wealth of user knowledge and experience with much to learn.
And now a few ramblings on my digital experiences.
I feel the vinyl vs digital debate, it is less relevant as digital has matured. They both can sound fantastic when done right and rather much less so when done wrong,. This forum is full with members extolling the virtues of their recent purchases, " I just bought/heard the blah blah blah, its' a gamechanger". It makes us audiophiles feel good after we see the visa bill!.
My personal experiences streaming music on Tidal with a Lumin U1 mini and Musician R2R DAC is that many older releases have been remastered for the better ....guess what?....not too Shabby sounding at all.
I can now populate my musical choices almost exclusively to releases that have both great music and great sound .
At my age, life's too short to listen to badly recorded music no matter how good the content. With digital streaming, there is more well recorded and brilliant music than one could listen to in 10 lifetimes.... all with subscription that costs pennies a day. I like that! These are in some ways good times for music lovers.
