Almost equality

Through much trial and error, and with help from this forum, I’ve finally got a digital system that compares to my analog setup.  I never thought it possible, and I know there are those who say it’s impossible. And, of course, I’m comparing my unique systems to each other. YMMV.

My digital setup includes a Cambridge streamer  with Qobuz and Idagio, a Cyrus transport and a Benchmark DAC . This all feeds into a re-capped vintage Conrad Johnson preamp (PV 11) and a Benchmark amplifier. 
‘The analogue setup includes a heavily modified Rega RP3 turntable with two power units, and Clearaudio Virtuoso cartridge.

I’m really happy with the sound of both digital and analog for the first time, with analog having the slight edge.

Great, how long a process was it?

I am VERY GLAD I joined Audiogon, June 2019.

I started with one question, 'long tonearm?', ended up completely overhauling my 3 systems.

Proper setup to play MONO LPs a key achievement that would never have happened without advice here. 

Help here has been instrumental to my many steps to success.
