"However" is the operative word in the previous post. "IMHO" is also of prime importance. Try and set up a side by side comparaison of the Audio Aero and analog front end you are considering. Play the same recordings in both formats. Use a variety of music. Play recordings you are familiar with. You have to make sure that the levels are matched, since any difference in volume will normally tend to favour the source playing a bit louder. Then let your own ears be your guide. Try not to think of this choice as though considering joining a club. Whatever you do, enjoy the music.
get vinyl rig or audio aero capital
I have an old bang and olufsen 1700 turntable cl cartridge
mid fi about 300 albums from 70-80's (some jap pressings)
my discs were played once and taped to a Nak - so great there
I'm wondering - do I go analog and spend big bucks on an analog rig (table, arm, cartridge, phono stage, cleaner, cables, platform) to get superior sound but then have a dated collection to play
arc ls5 preamp - no phono stage - all balanced inputs
or do I buy an audio aero capital - most analog like cd player and enjoy further my 1200+ cds
current digital end is Teac VRDS10 (Wadia) and EVS Millenium II dac - a nice combo
is there any good mid end tables that will perform well and not wear out my old vinyl??
thanks
Tom
