Here's a fire starter: Analog is as good as SACD

Thanks. I am satisfied with both, except for the impulse for more, more, more that we addicts feel. Is there anyone out there who has both LP and SACD playback in their systems who feels that one is a lot better sounding than the other? The answer to that, I suppose, would lead me to a reasonable conclusion as to what can be expected.

I really appreciate all the help.

My TT setup sounds waaaay better than my SACD, or previous CD setup.
So much so that I sold my 5 figure CD player and have gone to a more modest priced CD/SACD player. I seldom even listen to digital anymore other than for background music.

@mrvordo , very helpful information. Thanks. May I ask which phonostage you use?

You can check out my virtual system, but it's a modified Krell KPE Reference.

Update:
I upgraded to a Musical Surroundings Phonomena II. It is a significant improvement over the Emotiva with some cartridges; not so much with others. The Denon DL-301 II is back on top now. I'm very disappointed that the Hana is not able to keep up. But since I'm so happy with the 301, why complain. I am on that "I'm hearing things I never heard before!" pink cloud.

Upgraded to Zu Libtec speaker cables. Another nice improvement.

 I now get more enjoyment out of most of my LPs than all but my very best digital recordings. Life is good.
