I think you may want to buy used vinyl gears and get some decent recordings to try out. If you like vinyl sound, then think about upgrade and other better analog components. If not, you can always get rid of them via Audiogon. Although expensive, most of the 45 rpm reissues by Acoustic Sounds are awesome. I am a die-hard vinyl guy and only have a Rotel CD player that is 20 years old.
Go analog or upgrade digital
I have put my system together with the plan of adding a turntable and an audiophile computer based source eventually. I am about ready to audition turntables and can muster about 5K for an analog setup, have had my eye on the WTL Amadeus. My system components Ayon CD2, Shindo Auriegis MM, Genesis M60 monoblocs, Genesis 7.1c speakers and S4/8 sub.
Some reviews and posts have opined that very good digital AyonCD2 or high end the CD5 compares very well with analog. With my system and budget of 5K for a complete analog set up do you think I will be able to obtain better sound than the CD2? Another option sell the CD2 and the Shindo and purchase an Ayon CD5
and forgo analog. ( I think my head is going to explode)
