My digital is basically head to head with my analog now. Who knew, not me. As prentice said, it basically comes down to the quality of the recording now. The way it should be. Great recordings in both but usually different music. Best of both worlds, life is good after all.
Almost equality
Through much trial and error, and with help from this forum, I’ve finally got a digital system that compares to my analog setup. I never thought it possible, and I know there are those who say it’s impossible. And, of course, I’m comparing my unique systems to each other. YMMV.
My digital setup includes a Cambridge streamer with Qobuz and Idagio, a Cyrus transport and a Benchmark DAC . This all feeds into a re-capped vintage Conrad Johnson preamp (PV 11) and a Benchmark amplifier.
‘The analogue setup includes a heavily modified Rega RP3 turntable with two power units, and Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge.
I’m really happy with the sound of both digital and analog for the first time, with analog having the slight edge.
