Congratulations!
Like someone just said "convenience".... I own little less than 10,000 albums...I dont want to store them all...
For S.Q. it is possible, in spite of some afficionados of turntable opinion , to have a very good sound which will rival analog.... It is relative to many factors... Which one is better in the absolute is a useless question for most of us with a limited budget...
And there exist a S.Q. minimal quality threshold which make this question a secondary one , interesting question yes, for example Mike Lavigne said analog is better and i trust him...
But who want to pay and can pay the necessary amount of money for a dedicated acoustic room and top high end gear in analog and digital format to answer this question at the end?
Mike Lavigne can....
What most people underestimated is the three aspect of acoustic:
-Material acoustic passive treatment with the right balance between reflection/diffusion/absorption...
-Active mechanical control with Helmholtz devices of the distributed zones pressure of the small room,
-Psycho acoustic method to balance direct and reflected waves and to focus the wavefronts and timing them from each speaker and for each ear...
Compared to that mastery of acoustic , analog /digital difference exist but is minute one...
I will trust Mike Lavigne for which one format is better at the end.....
