the only reason i even responded to this redundant subject is that i have the "same problem"- my turntable sounds great (a vpi aries) and my cd player sounds great, too (EMM lab).
i have some terrific records (some are ancient but they sound very authentic), and i have some wonderful cd's (a good example is trevor pinnock playing baroque Handel and Vivaldi on Archiv). do i have to/want to tout one over the other?
uh, NO. those of you with a Walker turntable or an SME-30 are very fortunate indeed. i wouldn't mind an Amazon Reference or similar turntable with a triplanar arm (or??) but i have no burning desire to get one, since Mr.Weisfeld did a good job with what i already have. put a gun to my head or water-board me and i will go ahead and upgrade, but otherwise, i'm "happy". is this an unpardonable sin? will i burn in hell along with all of the people who still listen to Fisher Receivers and AR-3a speakers? maybe, maybe not...
