Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
I know this is an hot button for many, but here goes... I like vinyl and have many albums from the 60's, 70's and 80's. I'm interested in some 80's and 90's albums - like U2, REM, Nirvana, but I wonder if they will sound any better than streaming since they were probably recored digitally.
To knock digital out of the park or to put it another way to have it sound as good as as a fancy vinyl set up it takes a lot more than an entry streamer. All sorts of info you can dive into here. Just search. With a service like Qobuz the voluminous amount on offer along with ease is why many choose streaming. Assuming your system/room is jake both have great and poor recordings. So… I love vinyl but choose to stream. Like recordings both can be marvellous or not

Find a used Lumin T3 or X1 for one box. You will get a LOT of recommendations and all will be good as long as the rest of the peripherals are good. Power, cables, et all. X1 has PSU. Check out Muon too. Or get a great phononstage, etc.

@mojo771 New issue of Sterophile (Aug) has a well written, detailed, and very favourable write up on the new ifi Audio NEO stream. It’s only $1299 and “punches way above it’s weight.” Get your Mojo working. |
