Digital is far better than vinyl


I have invested a decent sum of money into my digital setup, including a decent streamer (Innuos Zenith MK3), a very good dac (Denafrips Terminator 2), Eno filter, and good cabling. But after being told by many here that vinyl is vastly superior to digital, I thought let’s build an analog system and see what all the fuss is about. So this is what I did ...

I picked up an Audio Technica TT from Amazon for around $299. I then used one of the older integrated amps with a built-in phono, which I believe I paid around $500 a few years ago. And, finally, just to even out the playing field I bought the cheapest possible cables from alibaba. Since I didn’t have extra rack space to put the TT on, I got a couple of bricks and built a DIY platform for it.

So after listening to the analog setup for a few days, I can proclaim without a shadow of doubt that digital is far, far superior than vinyl on any given day, and twice a day on Sunday.

What has been your experience? And please, don’t mention your gear or any special. cartridges, isolation, etc. Not interested in your system details. I just want to make sure you guys understand that digital is far, far superior than vinyl.

Funny. Not sure what the motive is. I suppose the OP is ragging on analog promulgaters with crappy digital systems saying that digital is worse than their high-end analog set-ups. 

I agree with the price you have to spend to meet or top a good digital setup. Expecting a $299 table to beat the OPs digital setup is not realistic. That’s a very decent digital setup he has. 
 

In my world, “Digital is far better than vinyl” because I don’t have physical vinyl records that need to be stored, found, cleaned, and placed/removed from a turntable.

Going for satirical irony I suppose...

Or is it ironic satire?  Either way, I'm certain arafiq had no intention to be taken seriously.
