Digital is far better than vinyl

This is totally ludicrous. But here goes anyway:

My experience is that vinyl CAN be equal or better than most digital music reproduction (Not enough for me to chase but that is a personal preference.) To get there you gotta pay to play, either mucho money or gobs of time to maximize SQ. Your cheapskate antics ain’t gettin’ it.

You got exactly what you deserve. The vinyl freaks around here spend more $ on a stylus than your total expenditures. Plus careful setup and then prep before each play. All this work to enjoy <30 minutes at a crack. Not worth it to me any more.

But I do savor the occasional LP side.

Any vinyl to sell for cheap? anyone?

Not sayin it's better or worse than digital, but just askin

To those who don’t seem to get it, this post is a witty retort to another thread (just removed by admin BTW) where the title was “Streaming for Quantity,Vinyl for Quality…”.  The OP came to this broad conclusion using a…wait for it…Node as a streamer and its internal DAC as his “benchmark” for streaming quality compared to a much more expensive vinyl setup.  Totally absurd and worthy of parody and derision IMHO. 

This is actually quite humorous OP. 

So you spend 1/10th the budget that you used for your digital frontend and buy the cheapest shittiest analog components (self proclaimed in your post) and then make the blanket statement that Digital (that is converted to analog) is superior to analog. You did not even make an apples to apples comparison.  

Don't get me wrong I have more invested in my digital front end than you and a very nice analog FE unit and Analog nips out my digital by a fender.  

Your comparisons is like my daughter racing me in her 2020 Nissan Sentra and I am in my 1982 Buick Grand National. 

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.

You’re such a party pooper…lol! But I agree with your post and appreciate @arafiq sense of humor.
