Is it all worth it?

Yup, totally worth it to me. Always has been

Same here.
Of course, I got into LP in the pre-digital era, and probably wouldn’t get into it were that not the case. Digital has come a long, long way.

But I have no plans to give up on LP.

I have to say that the combination of the Aurender N100 streamer and the MHDT Orchid r2r nos DAC is pretty righteous!

And maybe this is part of my problem as most members comment that a r2r nos DAC is the most analog sounding DAC to be had.

So if true, it may explain why I am particularly happy with my streaming experience......

"Like fine carpentry, there is craft to making music and so too there is craft to the vinyl experience. By investing in the best tools you can afford and slowing down and focusing on the process as well as the result, we get closer to the music and the musician. The reward to the spirit is then more than just musical, it is a beautiful use of time."



Forgive me for saying, but this reads like a passage from a self-help book.

Every zen-like word rings true but unfortunately for many of us their application often lies tantalisingly just beyond our grasp.

Perhaps now is a good time to try again.
If it works it can only do us good. And I'd like to think this technique is not just for vinyl either.

Currently I'm focusing on this live performance by Johnny Marr doing 'There is a Light that Never Goes Out.'

@uberwaltz,

We are fortunate to live in times where we have multiple choices to enjoy music and our beloved hobby. Glad to hear you’re enjoying music...regardless of the format.

Digital streaming is now fully matured and it is just as enjoyable as other competing formats from past and present. Let’s keep an open mind, enjoy the music (vino is optional) and be happy!

Those silver discs are soooo handy and no snap, crackle, pop!
