What is the reason for this? (Digital vs Vinyl Question)

@billzameI"m not suggesting anyone build their entire collection at Better Records. I only said "buy one"!

It's just than anyone buying MoFi's and AP's has never heard what a record can do and is therefore in need of an education on analog. Once you've heard what a record can do then at least you understand the possibilities. Then perhaps you start to develop the necessary skills to find great sounding records (cleaning methods, research and developing our ear) on your own. Often this is just cleaning the records we own better and listening with our full attention. But if we're buying Analogue Productions records we'll NEVER really get why serious analog enthusiasts get so darn enthusiastic about it!

The debate about whether vinyl sounds better than digital really ought to be a debate about whether vinyl CAN sound better than digital. If you get the right records, and then you build your system in the right way, that is, the way that makes your best sounding records sound even better, then you will very soon be all in with analog and never look back.

Oh and yes, get a better cartridge and phono preamp, absolutely, but don't expect to get the cartridge right on the very first try and demo as many phono preamps as you can until you decide. DON'T TRUST THE REVIEWS!

I wish I could hear a blind testing on a very expensive system on vinyl vs streaming.  I have always thought vinyl to be noisy and it is time consuming to have to get up and change a record.  It might even be more fun during a blind testing to tell them they were listening to streaming when playing vinyl to see if they could be fooled.  Buying a $20,000 turntable and purchasing expensive vinyl is not what most people can afford is also another question to consider.  Right now, I enjoy streaming music from a huge Tidal library and listening to hi res music.

Have fun, listen to tunes, keep pushing your system to new heights of enjoyment no matter the source……

BTW the NAIM streamer DAC deployed in the new series is superb !

Welcome to the 21st century. You have actually admitted to what most people already know but still do not quite want to admit. Vinyl is good. Was good. But it is primitive, limited in bandwidth and limited in dynamics. Regardless of the recent sales figures, it is a dinosaur and it is only a matter of time before it goes the same way as film cameras.
I still like listening to vinyl but recently i discovered that i like actually "looking at it" more than the listening part.  



Mike Lavigne would disagree with you on this. He has some of the best digital equipment and still says his analog equipment sounds better. I also remember him posting that some people in the recording industry couldn't believe that his vinyl playback sounded more dynamic than his digital playback.

You don't need to take my word for it, listen to this guy!
