I just set up my vinyl rig and I must say I didn't expect it to best my digital setup by this margin. My 2-3 best SACDs through my digital rig may compete but damn...I am having a personal vinyl resurgence. Merry Christmas all.
My vinyl rig officially trumps my digital. Just stunning. I just set the vtf on my ortofon black .025 heavier and my mind is blown. Never stop tweaking. Puff and tweak I say.
It's all in the DAC. Get a cheap dac and you will have mediocre sq from digital. IMO, you have to spend many times more on a vinyl setup than a good dac for vinyl to compare with digital. Check out the vinyl reviewers like Fremer, comparing their $300k vinyl setup to a $10k dac and he likes his vinyl better.
troutki50 - Let that strawman burn. Why not just enjoy the music irrespective of the source media?
Yup, like I said. Its like two flavors of ice cream. That said, really happy to finally be listening to my vinyl collection again. (I never stopped buying even though I didn't have a setup. Ha!)
