For analog, I use an Audiomeca Romance table/arm with Lyra cart. For CD I use an Audiomeca Mephesto transport and Enkianthus DAC. With decent CD, it is no contest. Soundstage, dynamics, tight bass are almost always better on the CD player. If I didn't have a fairly large vinyl collection with lots of stuff that won't be re-released, I would get rid of the analog stuff.
Digital as good or better than YOUR analog?
Just curious how many here believe they have surpassed the performance of their analog sources; aliveness, ease, depth, grainlessness, delicacy, scale etc. with their redbook cd playback. I'm closer than ever. I call my digital playback, power analogue, and with the latest technology for less and less money I would love to hear how others are percieving the measures of; palpability(music breathes with naturalness), seductiveness, shadings of recording room que's, vibrancy, etc. with their standard CD digital playback. Thanks
