Analog First Timer.


I would like to take the analog plunge. I hear time & time again how a proper analog set-up is by far better in sound quality & soundstage than a much more expensive digital set-up. I am currently running the Wadia 270-27ix clocklinked digital running through a BAT VK50SE pre-amp. What analog components would you recommed that would outperform; in all facets; my current digital set-up. Also what analog components player a bigger role in soundstage & sound quality.
Thank You.

I can tell by the equipment that you own that you must have really deep pockets, so I will recommend a world class analogue set-up disregarding cost but still practical:

Turntable: Well Tempered Reference
Cartridge: Lyra Helikon
Phono Stage: "The Groove" Phono Stage from Tom Evans Audio
Design

The Well Tempered comes with its own superlative tonearm. You can spend thousands more for a cartridge, but I seriously doubt if you can better the Lyra's performance significantly. Ditto for the "Groove" phono stage.

Enjoy,
