Analog vs digital?


Hi all! My first posting so please be gentle!
I've just had my old Linn LP12 turntable tuned up. It's been over 25 years since its had any attention. 
Nothing replaced just readjusted and I'm blown away by the result. 
It's so much more involving than the digital part of my system. 
Singxer SU-6, Denafrips Terminator. 
The Linn LP12 and  Ekos arm is over 30 years old.
I'm confused! 
Technology seems to be going backwards. Is it all for convenience?

I had a medium big-buck analog set-up vs early digital. It was absolutely no contest.

I've had a succession of digital systems in desktop audio setup ever since. Over the years digital has definitely gotten better: expecially w/multibit or NOS/multibit DACs, there is far less of the classic digital nasties than before. Also, the purity of tone & timbre have improved IMO, particularly w/multibit/NOS.

But I expect a well setup medium big-buck vinyl system would still handily win in comparison to digital. I'm no longer in a position to test this, but it's what I predict.
@nzastro just curious about your digital setup what is your source? I googled the  Singer-SU6 and it looks like it's a digital interface not a streamer. So what is your source for streaming?
Hi Jond, 
Guess our time difference is about 19 hours so apologies for the delays. 

At the moment just using a "hemroid" tablet and phone via USB. 
Don't have a dedicated streamer yet. 
Using Tidal high def "master" over WiFi. 
Tablet or phone both show they are playing master or hifi. 
Cheers! Tony.
