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.

But you left out a very, very important issue in your comparison and it will explain why so many have digital only systems. it is really not much of a mystery. Doing vinyl well requires more work, more supplies, and more money than digital. It is that simple.
Yep, my BAT CDP, which is probably worth no more that $1K sounds very analog-like because it has a very good analog output stage. It really doesn't take mega-bucks to get digital close to analog.
