DIGITAL vs. ANALOG

Jorge,believe me, IF you have good enough pre & amp & speakers,a used setup of 7or8hundred will KILL that cd player. Not that yours is a poor cd player, TTs are just that good dollar for dollar.

I have to disagree with George's price point. There is a point where turntables become better than cdps, but i personally like the sound of a decent cdp, like the a3cd, over an $800 TT rig. I would place the price up around $2k for the TT, arm, cart and phono. That's just my opinion, and ya' might want to take in to consideration that i grew up with cds.

I don't know who said this, but the quote was: "Getting good digital sound is as easy as turning hamburger back into steak".

Another option would be sacd but be warned i find even the best cd recordings to sound weak after sacd and dts sounds about unlistenable.
