The Audiomeca Mephisto IIX has a very robust presentation. Unfortunately, it is no longer made but they do come up used now and again.
Are there digital front ends with the body...
and resolving power of good vinyl?
I'm mainly just curious; I'm not going to buy one. Getting into vinyl recently, I'm actually surprised by how a (moderately pricey) analog setup can trounce digital - any I've heard, anyway. There are at least two areas: 'body' and image density/separation. These add up to 'naturalness'.
This is not a taunt or anything like that: I'm curious if there are those that feel that there is digital that competes on this level. Price no object.
