I own over 6-7K LPs
Raul, that's impressive! And a lot of storage room! How do you catalog them? With less than 1000 CDs I find remembering what I have and organizing them to be a pain.
Analog vs digital?
No, technology is not going backwards. Digital sound is steadily improving and many prefer it to analog. If you enjoy your turntable more, that’s great. Enjoy! You have been in audio long enough to know that what you are doing here is trying to start an argument, an old one that's been done a million times. I don’t know why you want to do that, but I wish you would find a better way to entertain yourself. We get into enough heated debates without people coming here and purposely trying to start them. If you don’t have anything worthwhile to contribute, please just lurk until you do. Let me give you a couple of suggestions. How about naming your thread: I love my LP 12! or: Serviced my TT and I’m amazed by the improvement! You don’t have to make this about one thing being better than another. |

Maybe the topic has been beaten like a rented mule, but that’s not unusual. "I'd like to have an argument, please." https://youtu.be/ohDB5gbtaEQ |
@nzastro, "Nothing replaced just readjusted and I'm blown away by the result." A tune up did all that? Overturned 25 years of your digital v analogue impression? Good for you. Let's hope it lasts. As for the so-called improvements in technology, it's a valid point that convenience is a prime mover in its course of direction. Who'd want to crank their engines by hand nowadays? Now, now.. |
Thanks all for your input. It's much appreciated. I would love to improve my digital system! I thought that my didital system (Singxer SU-6 /Denafrips Terminator) should of outperformed my old analogue TT and it has outperform my TT until the TT was tuned up (adjusted springs/suspension, tone arm/cartridge readjustment, cleaned electrical contacts and tightend all the screws. No new parts. So my dilemma is how can I improve my digital system? I'm suffering on going health issues so it's tough getting up to change records. At the moment I'm using a tablet streaming Tidal Masters etc and using i2s between SU-6 and Terminator and balanced XLR cables between termi and prototype valve preamp. Also need a reasonably priced dedicated basic streamer/storage unit (no included dac or amp). Living in New Zealand we seem to be very limited with availability of reasonably priced gear. Guess we pay for being so isolated. Problem is having health issues limits my income. Any ideas on how to improve my digital system on a budget would be much appreciated. Best wishes to you all. Keep safe n well. Thanks for your input. Cheers! Tony. |
