Don't forget phono stage is the most sensitive/ delicate part of the entire set up. If your phono amp creates early stage of noise it can be multiplied several times you can have awful lot of noise. Which you may not find in digital set up. One has to spend many time the bucks to have a good vinyl set up. I also find if one has a good tube amp and preamp set up you could achieve pretty detailed sound.Never the less to say vinyl will have better detail but at a very high cost. If you are a person like me, listening to couple hours, nothing like changing digital music to your taste right on your device.This is relaxation not LAZY.
With vinyl you not only need a good cartridge, you need a good turntable, good phono stage . I presently have a Rega p3, with Othofon quintet black cart($850) with simply phono preamp ( $2200) still its not good enough for me. I will need to spend about 10K to get what I want.
