I've been listening to digital over the winter because of the dry air. Static on the records isn't my cup of tea. Now that the humidity is rising, I decided to play some lp's the other day. Just as hevac1 said, analog sounds warmer, and has more depth and a better soundstage. Makes me think there may be something wrong with the output tubes in my Jolida cdp, but I know there isn't.
A/B Vinyl/Digital
I am sure there are those out there who have compared the same song with vinyl and digital.
Having done so last night was as suspected.
The CD version of the song was fake, plastic, 2D, flat, harsh, & non organic sounding.
The Vinyl version sounded like... well you know how it sounded.
Just don't listen to digital and expect it to sound like organic music IMHO.
Lector T3 is the CDP. I know if I spend $15000.00 + I can get closer to the sound of analog with digital.
It seems strange to me that members here on the 'Gon. only have a digital set up with high end gear. I am only a rookie here (7 yrs.) next to you 30 + audiophiles but I did learn something very valuable here by reading and learning from you analog heads.
