Vinyl to Digital

Recently I sold my Basis 1400 in favor of a Muse Thalia 9 v1, this was as a result of a series frustrations I experienced with the turntable. True, I have hundreds of cd's and had aquired only about 50 or so LP's at the time of the departure of the Basis, so my interest in LP's was rather new. I tried with great effort to resolve the problems I was experiencing with the vinyl rig for several months before making this decision.
The Muse is a wonderful player and I have not looked back, I believe it will compete with any one-box digital source available at this time. I will get back into vinly again in the future, but for now I will be concentrating on building my cd collection and enjoying music wtih the Muse.
As far as new/different digital format issues are concerned, I am not worried. The Thalia 9 is factory upgradeable to any future format(s).

Digital is more convenient, it is currently less expensive (software) and certainly has its virtues. Unfortunately, I personally haven't heard digital that competes with vinyl sonically insofar as sounding like real. Not to get off topic but from my perspective the answer to your question is a big NO! But I love that convenience and listen to digital at least 60% of the time. Analog is a big pain in the arse!

digital software is less exensive??
just today a co-worker gave me approx.400 LP's she no longer wants.lots of blues and classic rock inc.some 'possibly' valuable Beatles! Cant get any cheaper than that!

David, should you ever come across Carmen McRae doing "Carmen Sings Monk" on LP, I have been looking for it for a long time.

Maybe you were lucky in one of those boxes of LP's?

hey albert-I havent had time to look them over.its been a rushed weekend with work and all.I'll get to them tonight or tomorrow and I'll let ya know.
