Not as much activity on analog here

Lots of lps still out there to play. Plus a lot of it comes dirt cheap if you look in teh right places. A good omen for the continued presence of vinyl/analog source material. And yes, you need good stuff set up well in order to milk the most out of it. That's nothing new but still good news for high end audio. Good sounding digital continues to become more affordable. That's bad news for high end audio.

Chayro,
Well said!
There's no need for chasing after DACs every "few months" unless you just want to do so. Both Digital and Turntables can provide very long lasting enjoyable music reproduction in one's home. Either source can sound disappointing it not implemented properly. I don't find one inherently superior to the other given the choices now available. Good total system execution is the determining factor.
Charles,

I wonder about the points listed here .
Go to AA and they have a great many more posts listed than here . Is at least part of the problem attributed to the , how shall I say it , not-so-good website management
that has beset this site . I can remember when this site used to be just as stable and reliable as say Yahoo .
Maybe a question might be considered about reliability and consistency of use !
Not saying that AA is perfect but it does seem to be managed a bit more in favor of the members usage .

Please no flames !

I have to say that even though I follow certain threads, right this moment I'm thinking of the one about the ultimate best DAC that has been active for the last couple of months; and although there is a lot of good information in there, after a while, my head starts hurting.
Of course, nobody is making me read it, It's just that sometimes we really do get bogged down in the smallest bits of minutae, and it's easy to forget about enjoying music.
I don't really think that the moderators can be blamed for the subjects that are discussed unless they are censoring the content.

I agree with Chayro.

I am interested in reading about new analog products: phono stages, tables, arms, cartridges. Some other sites like WBF which allow for pictures and direct quotes from other posts provide more analog discussions about what is new.
