Mixed signals, @grislybutter . . . are you saying that you are there?
I am there yet @thecarpathian but I am evolving :)
Would I be wasting my money to get a turntable?
I am thinking about getting a turntable but I have a Class D amplifier (Nad M33) which digitizes all the analog inputs. If the amplifier is just digitizing the source is there going to be any difference between the vinyl and just listening to lossless digital streaming sources? Is there any benefit to me, given my current amplifier with has no analog pass through capability, to adding a turntable to my system?

My Anthem AVR converts analog to digital and then back. I did not realize this when I purchased it. I guess I assunemed that if I was using the analog in it would stay analog. I've learned that the reason this is, at least for Anthem, is their room correction. Although a bit disappointed to learn that , I'm still happy with the product. I run my fronts thoroug a separate 3 channel Anthem aml via pre outs on the AVR but the analog still gets converted to digital before getting turned back to digital. Knowing this i still bought a Rega TT and a good record sounds more "real" than it's digital counterpart. Just more dynamic. Ultimately i will completely separate my digital from analog via a switch and separate tube integrated. When I want to rock out to 60's or 70's classics or blues it'll be analog. When I want to shake the house with techno or metal it'll be digital. Just my 2 cents from a new hobbies Cheers! |
