«40% Of Audiophiles Are Dying And No One Is Doing Anything About It!»

  NoRomance - I got rid of my analog stuff years ago. I had the hanss t60/vpi 3D arm/soundstring cartridge/mcintosh c49 and the Otari mx5050. When my digital setup sounded better, I sold all of this plus 500 vinyl albums.
If your digital doesn’t sound as good as analog, then upgrade your digital equipment.

@rbstehno With respect, I’ve no interest in digital that my Sony DVD player and ad-blocked YouTube can’t handle. My analog set up is magic. 

When stereo was first released, the naysayers claimed people would not spend nearly double what a mono system cost, just for better sound.

Now many audiophiles are locked into 2-channel sound when the rest of the affluent world has multi-channel home theatre.  Almost all new homes in Australia have at least one home theatre room.

It is much more cost effective to merge your high-end audio into a home theatre set-up than to have two systems.  The really successful hifi dealers near me make most of their money from selling and installing high-end home theatre systems, mainly to younger folk.

I am not suggesting bringing the quality of your 2-channel system down to home theatre 'norms', but getting audiophile quality front left and front right speakers and two channel amplification integrated into home theatre - preferably with no centre channel!  Works for me

Where is the audio gear being sold.  I love a good deal!

Noromance-no wonder you don’t like digital, ou have the worst digital sources you can get
