Buy a Basis turntable / Graham tonearm / Benz Micro cartidge / Coda phono preamplifier analog system, and start collecting records. Problem solved. The best way to reproduce analog sound is to use an analog source. You could spend $30,000 on a top-notch digital front end, and my $7,500 turntable would exceed in every facet of the game.
Do I have to buy all new CDs?
OK, I know the question is fecetious, But I ffel like my collection of over 300 CDs went down to about 10 that still seem worth listening to. I am new to the audiophile game, so I started with Martin Logan SL-3s and a Sunfire amp. I guess I just didn't believe how revealing they really would be. I should have guessed when I immediately realized the differences in recording quality on the two Clapton CDs I use to audition speakers. This thread has become a complaint. For future reference is there any way to identify high quality recordings before I buy?
